In a moment of concern and mild tension, the inauguration ceremony of Abba Kabir Yusuf, the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP flag bearer, as the Governor of Kano State, was marred by a partial collapse of the stage.
The crowded venue witnessed individuals clinging onto the pillars of the podium, which ultimately led to its partial collapse. This incident occurred while the governor was giving his inaugural speech, leading to a temporary disruption.
Yusuf Abba emerged victorious in the 2023 election, securing 1,019,602 votes and defeating his closest rival, Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress, who received 890,705 votes
