Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has reappointed Ibrahim Ali Namadi, former Commissioner for Transportation, who resigned following controversy surrounding the bail of a suspected drug baron, Sulaiman Aminu Danwawu.

Majority leader Hon. Lawan Hussaini Dala confirmed the development to Daily Trust, he said the nominees were invited to come to Assembly on Monday for screening and confirmation of their appointment by 10am.
