Drama broke out on Monday, May 29, after the newly sworn-in governor of Kano state, Abba Kabir Yusuf, refused to sit on the official seat used by former governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

In a short clip, Yusuf who was elected under the ticket of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) was seen refusing to use the official seat meant for him as the state governor.

As he was about to take his seat, Yusuf immediately pulled the chair away and grabbed a smaller chair moment before his address.

It was also reported that the stage used for the swearing-in ceremony of the new governor of Kano state, Abba Kabir Yusuf, collapsed on Monday, May 29.

The new governor, his deputy, and the acting chief judge were all on the podium at the Sani Abacha Stadium when the incident occurred.

However, it has been reported that they are all reportedly safe.

Speaking to the people of Kano state, Yusuf vowed to probe the N241 billion inherited from the administration of Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the outgoing governor of Kano state.
