Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensuring a peaceful and seamless handover to his successor, Yusuf Abba.

In a statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Muhammad Garba, on Saturday, Mr Ganduje said the main transition committee and the various sub-committees were working towards smooth handing over of power in the state.

Mr Ganduje pointed out that the main transition committee and the various sub-committees at the levels of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) were working tirelessly towards a peaceful transition.

He explained that substantial progress towards preparing a handover note to the incoming administration had been recorded.

The governor assured that while the transition committee by the outgoing government prepares the final handing over report, the committee by the incoming administration would eventually receive the report at the appropriate time.

He stated that the inclusion of representation from the incoming government was based on the need to ensure transparency and openness in the process.

Mr Ganduje explained that the outgoing government has all the relevant data and information the transition committee is gathering.

However, the incoming administration needs the least representation in the committee, just as it obtained in other states where the transition is between different political parties.

Mr Ganduje advised the incoming government to tread carefully, work for a smooth transition process and avoid anything that could sabotage the process.
