The North East Youth Progressive Union, in collaboration with the Coalition for Democratic Right Group, has urged judges of the Appeal Court handling the governorship case of Kano State to give justice a chance to prevail on behalf of people.
Chairman of the group, Dr. Kabir Hassan Sambo, while addressing journalists, yesterday, in Yola, said the incumbent governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, deserved kudos for his people’s friendly protection within his short time in office.
He called on northern governors to emulate the Kano State governor in areas of human capacity-building and execution of projects that have direct bearing on human development.
“We are calling on governors from the North-East and by extension, the entire northern governors, to emulate the good work of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State in education and capacity building sectors.
“It is worthy of note that Governor Yusuf within the last five months has paid for the tuition, feeding, and accommodation of 1,001 post-graduate students to India, among others.
It said those programmes would not only help to develop Kano and its people, but will also have a knock-on positive effect in northern Nigeria as a whole.
