The Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf on Tuesday approved the appointment of an additional 94 Senior Special Assistants.
Governor Yusuf’s decision is coming days after the Governorship Petition Election Tribunal sacked him.
The tribunal directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return from him and present it to the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasiru Gawuna.
Meanwhile, Yusuf has vowed to appeal the judgment of the tribunal in the Court of Appeal.
The Kano State Governor, despite the court ruling, approved the appointments of new aides.
The appointments were disclosed in a statement released by his Press Secretary, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, in Kano on Tuesday.
