The APC stalwart said:

“It is unfortunate that our party decided to peddle information capable of misdirecting its loyal members while it is vividly clear that for now, only if the governor-elect dies or there has been a Coup d’état in the country, nothing will stop the swearing-in of the declared winner of the 2023 gubernatorial election, Abba Kabir Yusuf as the executive governor of Kano state.”

He made this reaction on the heels of the general information that there will be no inauguration ceremony in the state on Monday, 29 which has caused a lot of mixed responses among Kano citizens.
