Kano Assembly Suspends Lawmaker for Insulting Governor
The Kano State House of Assembly suspended Yusuf Bello Aliyu, who represents Nassarawa Local Government Area, for three months over alleged insulting remarks aimed at Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. This suspension was announced during a plenary session on October 21, 2026.
The assembly mandated Aliyu to refrain from all legislative activities throughout the suspension period. The decision followed the circulation of a video in which Aliyu was seen holding a rabbit by its ears while making comments deemed offensive to the governor.
This incident raised concerns among assembly members, prompting disciplinary action. Prior to the suspension, the assembly had expressed intentions to invite Aliyu to clarify his actions and address the controversy surrounding the video.
After the plenary session, Lawan Hussaini Dala stated that Aliyu was expected to appear before the assembly and issue a public apology to Governor Yusuf.
