By Admin

The Kano State House of Assembly has surprised many by electing Rt Hon Speaker House of Assembly Kano State, Hon Jibrin Ismail Falgore, under the New Nigeria Peoples Party. This marks a significant moment as it is the first time since the return of democratic governance in 1999 that such a decision has been made.

He remains calm and patient in challenging situations, such as the recent verdict by the Supreme Court regarding the Executive Governor of Kano State, Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf and his political party, NNPP.

His constituents view him as genuine and authentic, appreciating his willingness to engage with them. Falgore does not seek constant validation and understands the harm of holding onto grudges.

These qualities, along with many others, set him apart from his contemporaries in the political realm and have established him as a leader in his local community,state and national.

His political ideology revolves around helping and representing his people, as well as developing policies that benefit not only his constituency but the entire nation of Nigeria.

His vast expertise and experience have made him the perfect fit for this important position. His commitment to accuracy and integrity during the election process instilled confidence in his abilities and his potential to have a significant impact on the Kano State Assembly and the state as a whole.

Falgore’s priority is to improve the lives of the people. His leadership stood out during the challenging period of the Supreme Court verdict. His humility, perseverance, and tenacity were evident before and after the verdict. He displayed courage and commitment, even in a devastating situation.

His unwavering dedication to the leadership styles of the Executive Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, and the Kano State House of Assembly is further exemplified by his focus on serving his constituents and putting the people of Kano State first.

While the Executive Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, rebuilds and heals the state, Falgore’s leadership in the State House of Assembly continues to provide a much-needed source of quality legislation and leadership qualities for the betterment of the people of Kano State.

The true mark of a person’s character is how they treat those who can’t do them any good and those who can’t fight back. Falgore, you have chosen kindness and have become a bridge builder to serve the people. We wish you a successful leadership tenure with outstanding performance.

The Northern Online Media Reporters and Publishers (NORP) elected its national executive members on Saturday.

The election, held in Kaduna at Arewa House, Kaduna, was supervised by the Electoral Committee of the Union.

Comrade Musa Mohammed from Kaduna State emerged as the new Executive National President in a keenly contested election.

He polled 287 votes to defeat his rival, Comrade Lynn Adda, the former NUJ chairman, of Taraba State, who got 138 votes.

Comrade Femi Adi from Kogi State emerged as the Executive National Secretary with 210 votes.

He defeated Comrade Rayyan Al-Hassan, who polled 207 votes.

By the constitution of the Union, the Deputy National Secretary and National Assistant Secretary Positions are reserved for persons who come second in both.

Therefore, Comrade Lynn Adda and Comrade Rayyan Al-Hassan emerged as Deputy National President and National Assistant Secretary accordingly.

Others who emerged unopposed are Comrade Zaharaddeen Ishaq Zailani – National Financial Secretary; Comrade Abraham Suleman – Asst. National Financial Secretary, and Comrade Abbas Yusha’u Yusuf – National Treasurer.

In his acceptance speech, Comrade Musa Mohammed urged members of the group across the 19 northern states to take advantage of social media platforms to fight fake news and promote good governance.

According to him, social media platforms can only be reliable for information dissemination when professional journalists take over and use them professionally.

“Our greatest headache is the citizen journalist problem, where anyone can post anything online without verifying the source or authenticating such stories.

But the good thing is that professional journalists are taking over now,” he said.

While urging members to work within the ethics of the profession, he expressed commitment to ensuring the unity and progress of the Union within the three-year term of office.

He, however, thanked the members who turned out for the election and prayed for their safe return to their destinations.

Fifty-three people narrowly escaped death when a Max Air aircraft, with registration number 5N-MBD (B733), crash-landed at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA) on Tuesday night.

The incident occurred as the aircraft, carrying 53 passengers and 6 crew members, arrived in Kano from Lagos. According to one of the passengers, the front tire of the plane burst into flames around 10:19 p.m.

“Immediately the tire burst into flames, smoke filled the cabin, and we had to evacuate through the emergency exit,” the passenger said. “As we were exiting, the fire service was already spraying the plane with water to contain the flames.”

Confirming the incident, Kano Station Manager of Max Air, Malam Bello Ramalan, said all passengers and crew members were safely evacuated. He expressed gratitude for the safety of everyone on board and apologized for the inconvenience caused.

“I would like to apologize for the inconvenience and thank God for the safety of all on board. The safety of our passengers and crew is always our primary concern,” he said.

Ramalan explained that the aircraft had overshot the runway during the emergency landing, and standard safety protocols, including the evacuation of passengers, isolation of the pilots, and coordination with investigation authorities, were immediately followed.

“We are working with the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) and the Aircraft and Equipment Department (AED) to investigate the incident. Preliminary reports suggest that a tire issue caused the incident.”

Max Air’s Kano Station Manager reiterated that safety remains the airline’s top priority and the company is fully cooperating with authorities to determine the cause of the incident and implement necessary corrective actions.

“Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience caused,” he concluded.
