Inauguration stage collapses as Gov Abba Yusuf takes office in Kano

By BASHIR ADEFAKA

In Kano on Monday, inauguration stage collapsed after the new Governor of the stage, Mallam Abba Kabir Yusuf, was sworn in.

Recall that Governor Yusuf won the Saturday March 18, 2023 governorship election in Kano State as candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to defeat those of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and others.

However, our checks reveaked that the stage collapse occurred as some youths climbed the rooftop of the podium, which led to its collapse.

The Governor, his Deputy, and the acting Chief Judge were all on the podium when the incident happened at the Sani Abacha Stadium in the ancient city.

The new top man and his deputy were, however, confirmed to be safe.
