Engineer Hamisu Ibrahim Chidari has emerged the new Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly after the recent resignation of the former, Rt. Honourable AbdulAzeez Gafasa and the House's Majority Leader, Honourable Kabiru Hassan Dashi without giving any reasons for their resignation.
The letter of resignation which was tendered to the clerk of the House was read at the Assembly's floor where the lawmakers elected the deputy Speaker of the House, Rt. Honourable Hamish Ibrahim Chidari as the new Speaker without delay.
The House accepted the new leadership after seconding a motion from a member of the Assembly.
A source close to the House of Assembly told our correspondent that the resignation of the former Speaker may be due to the decision of not waiting for impeachment and some other reasons that are related to decamping to another party.
The new Speaker told journalists that he would carry everybody along in order to ensure that cordial relationship between the executive and legislative arms would continue to be cordial.
He solicited good cooperation from the Honourable members for better representation.
New Nigerian would give update on what would be the next move by the former Speaker and two principal officers of the parliament.
