Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party during the February 25 election, Rabiu Kwakwanso, is now fully in charge in Kano State as his men now occupy the four top positions.

His NNPP has produced the Governor, Deputy Governor, Speaker of the House of Assembly and the Deputy.

With that, he seems to have edged out his ally-turned-foe, Abdullahi Ganduje.

The member-elect from Rogo state constituency, Jibrin Ismail Falgore, on Tuesday emerged the speaker of 10th Kano state House of Assembly.

Falgore, a member of the ruling NNPP, who won the election unopposed, was nominated by Lawal Hussaini (Dala/NNPP) with his nomination seconded by a member-elect from the opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC), Musa Ali Kachako (Takai).

Similarly, member-elect from Rimingado/Tofa state constituency, Muhammad Bello Butubutu of the ruling NNPP emerged as the deputy speaker unopposed.

He was nominated by Zubairu Hamza Masu (Sumaila/NNPP) and his nomination was seconded by a member of the opposition party (APC) from Gwarzo state assembly constituency.

Daily Trust reports that the NNPP has the majority of the state assembly with 26 members-elect while the APC has 14 members-elect, making up 40 members for the assembly.
