President Muhammadu Buhari has
appointed Umar Ibrahim El-Yakub as the new Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to
the President on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives).
Mr Femi Adesina, the Special
Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, confirmed this development in
a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday
Adesina said El-Yakub’s
appointment followed the resignation of Kawu Sumaila who was in that position.
Sumaila, who was appointed in
August 2015, resigned to contest for the House of Representatives member for
Sumaila/Takai Federal Constituency in Kano State under the the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
His successor, El-Yakub, an APC
stalwart from Kano State, was a member of the House of Representatives in 1998
and from 2003 to 2007 representing Kano Municipal Federal Constituency.
