I am privileged to accompany our Managing Director, alongside other senior management staff from the Rural Electricity Board (REB), Kano.
Alhamdulillah! Gratitude to the Most High for a safe and blessed 2026 Hajj journey. May Allah accept our ibadah and guide us aright.
My deepest, most profound gratitude goes to our visionary leader and darling Governor, His Excellency Abba Kabir Yusuf . Your Excellency, you are not just a leader, but a father whose immense benevolence touches lives in ways words cannot fully describe. By making it possible for me to fulfill this sacred pillar of Islam, you have given me a gift beyond measure.
"Thank you" is simply an understatement. The Holy Land echoed with heartfelt prayers for your leadership, your wisdom, and your future. I want to assure you, Your Excellency, that with the sheer volume of sincere duas I heard people make for you in front of the Ka’bah, there is no height you desire in life that Allah will not cause you to attain in sha Allah.
To my family, friends, and political associates, your prayer requests were faithfully presented before the Ka'bah and other sacred du'a spots,in sha Allah.
To our Social Media Team, ably led by Chairman Ishaq Abdul , kudos for a remarkable job. May Allah reward us all.
Thank You,

Today, I officially turn a year older, and I can’t help but pause in awe of the journey. Looking back, I see God’s fingerprints on every chapter-His grace has been my constant, and His blessings have far exceeded my wildest dreams.
I’m celebrating a life of true fulfillment, anchored by the most beautiful family anyone could ask for. I know I don’t walk this path alone, I am the living manifestation of my parents prayers and their endless love.
As I step into this new year, I’m carrying a grateful heart and a spirit ready for even greater heights. Cheers to a new season of favor, laughter, and divine purpose! 🥂🎂
Happy Birthday to me! 🎈🎊
Abba Hikima has filed a Petition to the IGP to investigate the Gimba's(Seen in picture below),as alleged by Muhammad Musa Kamarawa on the death of Abu Hanifa(Dadiyata).
Let's all rally behind him and demand justice.
A shocking revelation has surfaced by one SSA to former Governor od Zamfara and Current Minister of defence,that a CSP Hassan Gimba by name killed DADIYATA. This was contained in a petition made by him,and he swore to almighty that they killed Abu Hanifa(Dadiyata) in his presence.
Innalillahi wa innailahi rajiun.

Prior to the party conventions, widespread speculation suggested that the political structure in Kano was on the verge of a chaotic fracture. Pundits braced for impact, yet the event proved to be both seamless and progressive.
When the focus shifted to the primaries and the consensus-building process, many anticipated a downfall. However, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf navigated these turbulent waters with remarkable wisdom. By maintaining the "status quo ante bellum" in his selection of candidates even after the annoucement of no automatic tickets, he ensured internal stability and kept the party faithful satisfied.
The Governor further fortified his position by integrating a political heavyweight, Murtala Sule Garo, into his team as a key ally. This "firepower" has effectively consolidated his influence across the state. It is now evident that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has emerged as a master strategist,with the foundation he has laid, the path toward 2027 looks increasingly secure.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf is proving that promises made are promises kept. Look at the incredible trajectory of the Rural Electricity Board (REB) since 2023:
📉 June 2023: We inherited a 197M Naira budget with only 20% performance.
📈 2024: Budget rose to 987M Naira (exhausted by August due to hard work).
🚀 2025:We surpassed 1 Billion Naira +and later went for Supplementary funding.
🔥 2026: Now working with over 2 Billion Naira as approved by Excellency.
With the Governor’s recent procurement of 500 transformers and the visionary leadership of MD Engr Sani Bala Dambatta , we are lighting up Kano State like never before. This is what dedication to humanity looks like in action.
#AbbaIsWorking and deserve another term.
