“The overwhelming verdict from stakeholders is a vote of excellence for both the state and federal administrations. I remain committed to delivering quality governance and improving the welfare of our people,” he added.

At the meeting, the State Chairman of the APC), Abubakar Kana-Zuru, announced the suspension of the special adviser to the governor on power and politics, Kabir Sani-Giant, over alleged misconduct.

The party cited an incident on 8 February, when Mr Sani-Giant allegedly entered the Government House with a snake, intimidating dignitaries and officials.

“This act was deemed offensive, embarrassing, and a violation of Article 21 (2)(ii) of the APC Constitution. Any further misconduct during your suspension may result in stricter disciplinary action, including expulsion,” the statement concluded.
