Former Kano State Governor and 2023 presidential candidate, Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, has commended Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for his remarkable leadership and contributions to Kano State.

In a statement issued on Friday to mark Governor Yusuf’s 62nd birthday, Kwankwaso described him as a transformative leader who has significantly impacted the state within less than 19 months in office.

“The Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has made his mark as an effective doer, from his days as my aide to becoming commissioner and now as the Chief Executive Officer of our State,” Kwankwaso said.

He praised the governor for implementing initiatives across multiple sectors, describing his leadership as empathetic and people-centered. “I am particularly pleased with his empathy for the people and the willingness to always listen to their voices and make decisions that will help make life better for Kanawa,” he added.

Born on January 5, 1963, in Gaya Local Government Area, Governor Yusuf hails from the Sullubawa Fulani clan, the ruling class of the Kano Emirate. His rise in public service includes serving as an aide and commissioner under Kwankwaso’s administration before becoming the governor in May 2023.

Kwankwaso expressed gratitude for the governor’s efforts and prayed for his continued success.

“In his 62 years, Governor Abba has positively impacted our state, and he has distinguished himself as an icon for loyalty and leadership with compassion. May the Almighty Allah bless him with more grace, strength, and wisdom to continue serving his people.”
