Newly Sworn In Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, on Monday, said his administration will carefully study the N241 billion debt profile incurred by his predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

Governor Yusuf who said this shortly after his inauguration expressed surprise that the former Governor was not around to hand over to him as has been the tradition in the state.

“We will carefully study the reports and come out with our position on the debt and other matters.

“I am surprised that the outgoing governor is not around to hand over to me as a democratically elected governor which has been the tradition,” he said.

He called on the people of the state to pray for the success of the incoming administration to ensure it meets the expectation of the governed through good democratic governance.

It would be recalled that Gandjuje had said he will perform the official handing over of the affairs of the state to the governor-elect, Abba Yusuf, on Sunday.

This is contained in a statement issued by the outgoing Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Muhammad Garba.

The commissioner explained that Mr Ganduje would shortly after the event depart for Abuja as head of the Kano delegation to the inauguration of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu on Monday.
