Abbas Yushau Yusuf
The late political leader of Northern Nigeria, Malam Aminu Kano, who passed away on April 17th, 1983, left only three Naira in cash when he died 41 years ago.
Renowned Islamic Scholar Sheikh Umar Sani Fagge stated this in a viral video during one of his preaching sessions.
Sheikh Fagge mentioned that at the time of Malam Aminu’s death, despite being a minister in the Gowon administration, he left only three Naira in cash.
Sheikh Fagge said one of the clerics who participated in sharing Malam’s assets told him the interesting story of Malam leaving only 3 Naira in cash.
Malam Aminu Kano was among the pre-independence Nigerian politicians who struggled with the colonial masters to secure Nigeria’s political independence on October 1st, 1960.
He was also the opposition leader in the first Republic with the main opposition party in Northern Nigeria, the Northern Elements Progressive Union, which opposed the ruling Northern People’s Congress in the old Northern region.
In the second Republic, Malam Aminu Kano was the leader of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) and contested the 1979 general elections, which were won by the NPN. However, his party, the PRP, captured the major states of old Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, and Jigawa.
He passed away on April 17th, 1983, which is now 41 years ago.

Tinubu said Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state; his deputy, Ngozi Odu; and all members of the Rivers assembly are “hereby suspended for an initial period of six months”.
“Having soberly reflected on and evaluated the political situation in Rivers State and the Governor and Deputy Governor of Rivers State having failed to make a request to me as President to issue this proclamation as required by section 305(5) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, it has become inevitably compelling for me to invoke the provision of section 305 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended, to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State with effect from today, 18th March, 2025 and I so do,” the president said.
