The Borno State House of Assembly has approved Governor Babagana Zulum’s request to consider Umar Kadafur, as the acting governor of the state, from April 29 to May 19, 2021.
The approval was conveyed by the Assembly’s Speaker, Abdulkarim Lawan, in a letter dated April 26, 2021.
Governor Zulum had written to the Borno Assembly, seeking the lawmakers approval, to proceed on 21 days vacation.
The Governor’s request which is in compliance with the provisions of section 190 (1) of the constitution, would constitutionally avail his deputy the full powers to handle Borno State’s affairs without resort to the Governor.
Meanwhile, the Governor through his spokeman, Malam Isa Gusau has notified the Borno people and directed all government officials and institutions to fully comply with his transmission of power.
