Kano Lawmaker Suspended for Insulting Governor Yusuf
On October 21, 2026, the Kano Assembly suspended a lawmaker, Aliyu, for allegedly insulting Governor Yusuf. The decision was made during a plenary session where the assembly directed Aliyu to refrain from all legislative activities for the duration of his suspension.
This action followed the emergence of a video in which Aliyu was seen holding a rabbit by its ears while making remarks that were considered insulting to the governor. The assembly had previously announced plans to invite Aliyu to address the matter.
After the plenary, Lawan Hussaini Dala stated that Aliyu was required to appear before the assembly and issue a public apology to the governor.
