The governor was represented at the event by his Deputy Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, accompanied by the State Chairman of the APC Alh. Abdullahi Abbas, Chief of Staff to the Governor Alh. Ali Makoda, Commissioners and other senior government officials.
The emir in his speech shortly after the turbanning ceremony, said both the new turbanned officials are now members of the Kano Emirate Council.
The Emir Bayero also charged them to discharge their duties effectively with the fear of Allah and use their wealth of experience towards the development of Kano State and the Emirate as a whole.
