Kano Group Expresses Concern over President Tinubu’s Ministerial Appointments

The group, known as the “Kano First,” held a press conference yesterday to air their grievances. Spokesperson Khalid Yusuf highlighted that Kano State played a significant role in President Tinubu’s electoral success, contributing not only in terms of votes but also with unwavering support and dedication. However, they lamented that the state had been overlooked in the allocation of senior ministerial positions in the new cabinet.

Yusuf pointed out that states with lesser electoral importance, such as Bauchi, had received two senior ministerial appointments, which in their view, was an unfair distribution of political power and representation. The group stressed that Kano deserved its fair share of senior ministerial appointments, given its pivotal role in delivering victory during the election.
