Gov Yusuf

Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso, the son of the 2023 Presidential candidate of the NNPP, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has been nominated for the position of commissioner in Kano state.

The nomination was part of a list submitted to the Kano State Assembly on Tuesday, signalling a blend of new and familiar political faces in the state’s governance landscape.

Alongside Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso, the governor’s list includes three other nominees: Adamu Aliyu Kibiya, Usman Shehu Aliyu, and Abduljabbar Garko.

The Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Jibril Falgore, confirmed the receipt of the executive list during a plenary session on Tuesday.

He announced that the screening of the commissioner nominees will commence early next week, marking the next step in formalizing their appointments.

The inclusion of Mustapha Kwankwaso is particularly notable, given his lineage’s political significance in Kano and the broader Nigerian political sphere.
