Abba Kabir Yusuf’s tutelage under Rabiu Kwankwaso as his leader is marked by loyalty, dedication to duty, and a corruption-free attitude. Abba has served the state of Kano in various capacities without any blemishes, demonstrating his commitment to honest governance. He has also made a notable commitment by stating that no member of his family will participate in governance, indicating his determination to run the state without engaging in corrupt practices.
Abba’s political journey began as a personal assistant (PA) to former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, a position he held for 12 years from 1999 to 2011.
He later served as a private secretary to the government and was later appointed commissioner for works, housing, and transport. Throughout this time, Abba remained dedicated to Kwankwaso’s leadership, describing him as his leader and expressing utmost respect and trust for him.
Moreover, Abba’s relationship with Kwankwaso goes beyond professional duties. He is also the son-in-law of Kwankwaso, further solidifying their bond. In 2019, Kwankwaso mobilized support for Abba to challenge the incumbent Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, who had fallen out with Kwankwaso and the Kwankwasiyya movement. Abba won the initial election but faced a supplementary election due to the declaration of some areas as needing a rerun. Ultimately, Ganduje was declared the winner.
Despite his ties to Kwankwaso, Abba has emphasized his independence and his commitment to governing in his own capacity. He has stated that Kwankwaso will not interfere in his work, but rather provide advice and guidance when necessary. Abba recognizes the value of Kwankwaso’s experience and welcomes his input for the betterment of governance in Kano state.
As the governor-elect of Kano state, Abba Kabir Yusuf carries the hopes of the people who expect him to bring an end to Ganduje’s administration and uphold the principles of the Kwankwasiyya movement. With his dedication to duty, clean track record, and determination to lead with integrity, Abba is poised to fulfill these expectations and steer the state toward progress and development.
As we look towards the future, there is great anticipation for the transformative changes that Abba Kabir Yusuf’s administration will bring. With his strategic positioning, wealth of experience, and dedication to progress, he is poised to lead Kano State to new heights of prosperity and development.
The journey towards transforming Kano State begins now, and with Abba Kabir Yusuf at the helm, we can confidently embrace a future filled with boundless opportunities and achievements. Let us rally behind our new Governor and work hand in hand to build a better, brighter, and more prosperous Kano State for generations to come.
