My Government Will Be A Replica Of Kwankwaso’s-Kano Governor -Elect
Kano State Governor-Elect, Engr. Abba Kabiru Yusuf has restated commitment to continue with the laudable populace policies of the Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso led administration.
NIGERIAN TRACKER reports that Abba cited the polices to include good qualitative education, empowerment programmes, policies and programs that promote skills acquisition and entrepreneurship, the completion of abandoned projects, free maternal healthcare program and provision of conducive atmosphere for the development of businesses within the state.
Abba Kabiru Yusuf stated this on Monday in his acceptance speech after his declaration by INEC as winner of the March 18th, 2023 governorship election.
Our administration will be an off-shot of the Kwankwaso administration and we assure the good people of Kano State, ‘’Abba Yusuf said.
He vowed not to deviate from his campaign promises and the road map of the NNPP in developing the state.
The governor elect appreciated the support of all and sundry towards attainment of the success of the election.
According to him, ‘’our unflinching gratitude goes to the entire people of the state. We recognize your determination, courage, loyalty, commitment as well as your ferocious resolve to defend your sovereign rights and the integrity of our democracy.’’
the fact that our party the NNPP is relatively new coupled with the fact that the logo of our party was poorly depicted on the ballot paper and wide spread electoral violence; you still gave us your mandate. We had no money and due to the inflicted poverty on the citizenry the government took advantage by buying votes of the people with both the new and old currencies and distributing wrappers and other household items to voters. Against all these odds you still came out in-mass to give us your mandate. Indeed, “Taliya bata zabe”.
We are profoundly grateful and will not take your mandate for granted. Our unreserved commendation goes to members of the armed forces whom were deployed to Kano for the election and most of other security agencies and indeed the Independent Electoral Commission for maintaining their neutrality by keeping the peace and promptly responding to our genuine complaints before, during and after the elections. In the same vein, I salute and commend the patriotism of members of the media for their coverage and also applaud and appreciate the role played by members of the Civil Society and the numerous
domestic and international observer groups that worked tirelessly towards ensuring free, fair and credible elections.
‘’We cannot complete this acceptance speech without thanking our leader and mentor, His Excellency Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for his untiring effort that led to the declaration of our mandate today as
Governor and Deputy Elect. Finally, we thank all people of goodwill across the country and even foreign nationals. It is our hope that you will continue to support us towards the successful discharge of our mandate.’’

Port-Harcourt Refinery Fully Operational- Says NNPC
The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has been drawn to reports in a section of the media alleging that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery which was re-streamed two months ago has been shut down.
We wish to clarify that such reports are totally false as the refinery is fully operational as verified a few days ago by former Group Managing Directors of NNPC.
Preparation for the day’s loading operation is currently ongoing.
Members of the public are advised to discountenance such reports as they are the figments of the imagination of those who want to create artificial scarcity and rip-off Nigerians.

Port Harcourt Refinery Halts Production Less Than a Month After Resumption
Less than a month after the porthacourt appeared to have resumed production, the facility has stopped working.
It was gathered that the lifting of petrol actually stopped last Friday, December 13, as the 18-arm loading bay of the new Port Harcourt refinery was empty.
While about 18 trucks littered the stretch of the busy road leading to the refinery itself, nine trucks were spotted inside the parking yard, while the loading bay was empty.
Journalists who visited the refinery on Thursday, December 19, 2024, observed that the lifting of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) had stopped completely.
The depot, which is usually a beehive of activities where tankers scramble for space at the parking yard, was a shadow of itself with literally no vehicular or human activity relating to operations.
This was after $1.5bn was approved in March 2021 and spent on the rehabilitation of the facility.
The inauguration of the 60,000 barrel per day production capacity plant by the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, was met with celebration and fanfare.
During the re-opening of the facility, there was lifting of petrol to the excitement of the cheering crowd.
However, less than 10 trucks of petrol were lifted that day as against widespread claims that about 200 trucks carried petrol out of the bay.
