Strong indications emerged yesterday suggesting that the wife of the late governor of Kaduna State, Mrs Amina Elizabeth Yakowa, could emerge the deputy governor of the state following the death of her husband in a helicopter crash on Saturday.

pendusky:
She was the wife of a gov. What other experience do u want? Rubish question anyway!

An educationist, she holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. She taught in many schools in Kaduna State before transferring her service to the Ministry of Defence, Abuja. According to the Kaduna State website, she is now on leave of absence.

A humane, humble and motherly person, Mrs Yakowa is known to be very compassionate, warm and accommodating. She is a patron to many associations, and sits on the board of many non-governmental organisations.

Strong indications emerged yesterday suggesting that the wife of the late governor of Kaduna State, Mrs Amina Elizabeth Yakowa, could emerge the deputy governor of the state following the death of her husband in a helicopter crash on Saturday.

The plan to tap Amina as the deputy to the newly sworn-in governor of Kaduna State, Dr. Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, is being championed by northern governors across party divide, top northern politicians and governors from other regions of the country with the aim of sustaining Yekowa’s legacies.

How does being the wife of a governor qualify her for such position ? no wonder the oligarchy continue to have their ways at the detriment of mo'r'ons like you

jhydebaba: Are they trying to re - write 9ja's constitution






_{Nigeria is now run as a family business. *SMH}

Blackbody20: put urself in her shoe bro.

4direct: Is that a consolation... what does she know?, whats her qualification, an SSCE turn trader contesting for VDG... Naija things tire person ooo

maasoap: Then what? Even if a king die prematurely, the post will go out the next qualified person. Let's not use sentiment and emotion to turn Nigeria upside down. They can give her another post that has nothing to do with being elected like commissioner, SA. Yar'dua died and Turai moved out of Aso rock. Period.

Knowledge9000:

Very shameless comment. Didn't you read that she was former Assistant-director Ministry of Defence, Abuja? What other qualification do you need? This is by far the most relevant qualification needed for Kaduna with her credential at Ministry of Defence.

Did you know that her Husband was former Director at Minsitry of Defence, Lagos before he was made Minister of Solid Minerals by Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar? That was his qualification. She is not your regular first lady, she is self-made...joined Ministry of Defence more than 25 yrs ago.

She was a former deputy director at the Ministry of Defence and only retired after her husband became governor.

Gbawe:

They should give her nada !! She only deserves support for herself and her children !!!! That is what happens worldwide !!! We simply need to stop this crazy culture of 'compensating' some individuals with very influential office that has a direct bearing on the lives of many. I would personally hazard a guess that Nigeria has, by far, the greatest number of unprepared and unworthy 'apprentice' leaders in the world because of our political culture of running politics like a nepotistic family affair.

DANILSA: I THINK ITS A GOOD IDEA, ANYBODY CAN ASSUME VP SINCE NO SERIOUS CONSTITUTIONAL ROLL WAS SLATED FOR VPS, THEY SHOULD USE IT TO COMPENSATE THE FAMILY AND ALSO SHOW THAT THEY HAVE A CLEAN CONSCIENCE AGAINST YAKOWA EVEN THOUGH THEY DONT HAVE, AND ALSO CALM THE TENSION IN KADUNA SOUTH.
