Kano Assembly Responds to US Bill Naming Kwankwaso, Calls on Yusuf to Intervene
By Ahmad Tijjani Abdul
KANO — The Kano State House of Assembly (KNHA), on Tuesday urged the state government to formally address a recently proposed U.S. congressional bill that mentions Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso among individuals who could face potential sanctions, including visa restrictions and asset freezes.
The motion was moved by Hon. Usman Tasiu, representing Kiru constituency, during a plenary session presided over by Speaker Jibril Ismail Falgore.
Tasiu described Senator Kwankwaso as “a dedicated public servant whose leadership has positively impacted the lives of Kano residents.”
He stressed the former governor’s record in promoting peace, supporting education, and driving infrastructural development for both Christians and Muslims in the state.
“He has consistently acted as a unifying figure in Nigeria and has maintained a strong stance against all forms of violence,” Tasiu said.
The House unanimously adopted the motion, urging the Kano State Government to take appropriate action in response to the U.S. bill.
In the same session, the Assembly approved motions calling for road construction in Tarauni, Madobi, Garun Malam, and Madobirijin Gasoline localities.
These were presented by Kabiru Dahiru (Tarauni), Sulaiman Ishaq (Madobi), Deputy Speaker Muhammad Bello, and Zakariyya Alhassan (Kura/Garun Malam).
The House subsequently adjourned its sitting to Monday, 2nd May, on a motion moved by the Majority Leader, Lawan Hussaini.
