Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano has forwarded the name of Mustafa Rabiu Kwankwaso and three others to the State Assembly for confirmation as commissioners in the newly created ministries in the state.
Mustafa Rabiu Kwankwaso is the eldest son of Mr Yusuf’s political god-father and former governor of the state, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who is also the leader of the ruling New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, in the state.
The three other commissioner-nominees for the newly created ministries are Adamu Aliyu Kibiya, Abdujjabbar Umar Garko, Shehu Usman Aliyu Karaye.

Meanwhile, the governor has transmitted another letter to the Assembly, seeking confirmation of chairman and members of the Kano State House Assembly Commission.
Reading the governor’s letter during Tuesday’s plenary, the speaker said the nomination was as a result of dissolution of previous leaders by the house last Monday and requesting for his replacement with new nominee.
