The Kano State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs for Information and Internal Affairs, Malam Muhammad Garba, says the State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje is highly committed to ensuring peaceful and seamless transition from his administration to the incoming government.


Garba, who made this known in a statement issued on Sunday in Kano, stated that the main transition committee, constituted by the governor and the various sub-committees were working towards smooth handing over of power in the state.


He,therefore, dismissed insinuations by the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) that the outgoing administration was undermining the transition programme or promoting ideology.


The commissioner pointed out that the main transition committee and the various sub-committees  at the levels of Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) were working tirelessly, adding that they had made substantial progress towards preparing a handing over notes to the incoming administration.


Garba also explained that while the transition committee by the outgoing government prepares final handing over report, the committee by the incoming administration would eventually receive the report at appropriate time.


He noted that the inclusion of  representation from the incoming government was based on the need to ensure transparency and openness in the process.


He added that since the outgoing government had all the relevant data and information at its disposal, which the transition committee is gathering, the incoming government needs the least representation in the committee, just as it obtains in other states where transition is between different political parties.


The commissioner indicated that the outgoing government expects that the issue of ideology and new programmes to be initiated by the NNPP should wait for the unveiling when the new government is inaugurated.


Garba further called on the elements of the incoming government to tread carefully and work for a smooth transition process as well as avoid anything that could sabotage the process.
