The new Governor of Kano state, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has sparked mixed reactions online following his refusal to sit on the official chair of his predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
OsunDaily News reports that following the outcome of the gubernatorial election in the state, Ganduje and Yusuf have been at loggerheads.
Ganduje also decided to hand over to Yusuf on Sunday, May 28, 2023, to enable him to attend the inauguration of President Bola Tinubu, but the new governor refused.
In a video making the rounds online, Yusuf was captured pushing out the chair Ganduje used during his tenure and requested to use another one for the day’s meeting.
This sparked reactions among many Nigerians:
