Buhari appoints new NASS aide

Following the resignation of Mr. Kawu Sumaila as the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives), President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Umar Ibrahim El-Yakub as his replacement.

Sumaila, appointed SSA in August 2015, resigned to contest for membership of the House of Representatives representing Sumaila/Takai Federal Constituency in Kano State under the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

His successor, El-Yakub, an APC stalwart from Kano state, was a member of the House of Representatives in 1999 and 2003-2007 representing Kano Municipal Federal Constituency.
