Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Kabiru Rurum, resigned from
office this morning over fears that his colleagues might impeach him
today.
He read his resignation letter before stepping down.
Members of the state house of assembly have over time accused him of corruption, extortion and high-handedness.
Among the many allegations is that he cornered N100 million allegedly
given to the house by billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote, to shelve
the probe of Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The former Majority leader of the state assembly, Yusuf Ata has been
elected the new Speaker while Abdulaziz Gafasa, was elected the new
Majority Leader to replace Ata.
