Ahead of the 2027 election and the debate for his second term, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano state has revealed that his administration has so far executed 85% of the promises made to the people of the state, with only 15% remaining as he enters the second half of his tenure.

The governor made this assertion during the inauguration of his new chief of staff, Dr Sulaiman Wali Sani, the director general, special services directorate, Major General Sani Muhammad rtd, and 11 special advisers, on Thursday, July 17.

As reported by Daily Trust, Governor Yusuf noted that the achievement was reached after a careful evaluation of his administration’s performance in the last two years.

“I’m happy that last week when I looked at our polling point, all the promises we made for the people slowed down in two years, we have executed 85%. So I have some alarms for the next one or two, let’s say two years. Is this 15% for us to execute?” he said.

Speaking further, the governor assured that his administration would introduce fresh policies and programmes to deepen its impact on the lives of Kano citizens.

“We are bringing in new programmes and practises that will, by the grace of Allah SWT, continue to impact further to the lives of the good people of the state,” he said.

Continuing, the governor urged the appointees and members of the public to embrace accountability and integrity in handling public resources, stressing the need for constructive feedback.

“If there is any problem, don’t just go into the air. Don’t start investigating. Because if you investigate, you are investigating yourself,” he added.
