Speaker of Kano State House of Assembly, Ismail Falgore, on Monday, administered the oath of office on two new members.
The new members: Mohammed Butu-Butu (NNPP-Rimin-Gado/Tofa) and Zakaria Ishak (NNPP-Kura/Garunmalam), won the Feb. 3 rerun elections in their respective constituencies.
The speaker, while performing the swearing-in during plenary, urged the new legislators to work for the development of their constituencies and the state in general.
“On behalf of the entire members of the Ninth Assembly, I welcome the newly-elected lawmakers to the chamber.
“We wish you more success in the discharge of your legislative assignment,” Falgore said.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had earlier issued a certificate of return to the two members of New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, who defeated their opponents from All Progressives Congress, APC.
The speaker also swore-in Mohammed Butu-Butu (NNPP-Rimin-Gado) as deputy speaker, the position he had held before the annulment of his election.
