Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf Criticizes Ganduje for Inadequate Handover Notes and 241 Billion Naira Debt
In a formal handover ceremony, the new Governor of Kano state in Northwestern Nigeria, Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf, expressed his disappointment over the insufficient handover notes left by former Governor Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, who won the Governorship Election on March 18, highlighted the absence of detailed handover notes during his speech. He mentioned that previous governors, from Kwankwaso to Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, had all stayed and personally handed over power to their successors, unlike Ganduje.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf explained that the refusal of himself and his team to accept Ganduje’s invitation for a physical handover on May 28 was to avoid any illegalities and violations of the provisions stated in the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Furthermore, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf expressed concern about the substantial debt of over 241 billion Naira accumulated by the previous administration under Governor Ganduje. He questioned the source of funds to repay this debt and acknowledged the responsibility it places on his government.
Governor Yusuf extended his gratitude to the people of Kano state for their unwavering support during the election and assured them of his commitment to improving their welfare. He also commended Alhaji Usman Alhaji, the Secretary to the Kano state Government, for facilitating a smooth handover process

Biafran Rebels Kill Cameronian Soldiers In Bakassi
Five members of Cameroon’s Rapid d’Intervention Battalions (BIR) were reportedly killed Friday morning, March 14, 2025, in the Bakassi Peninsula during an attack by Biafra separatist groups.
Sources close to the groups revealed that the assault was carried out by the Black Marine, the largest faction and the Dragon Fighter Marine afiliated with the Biafra Nations League (BnL).
“At around 6:00 am on Thursday, the group launched explosives, hitting their targets and neutralizing two warships,” the sources claimed.
This marks a violent resurgence months after the arrest of Simon Ekpa, with insiders citing lack of funds as a reason for the group’s previous inactivity.
Reacting to the attack, a source said, “The warships have been withdrawn. The situation is tense, and our men are fully back in action.”
BnL leader, Princewill Chimezie Richards said, “Biafra has come to stay in Bakassi not even Cameroon can stop us.”
