Kano state governor, Engr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso today appointed a Christian woman, Justice Patricia Mahmoud as Acting Chief Judge of the state.

Justice Mahmoud has on two occasions faced discriminatory challenges regarding state of origin and her elevation to Court of Appeal rejected because she is from Benue state.

 
She replaces Justice Shehu Atiku, who retired from judicial service. The governor said Patricia’s appointment is in compliance with section 271 subsection 4 of the Nigerian Constitution, which states that the most senior judge acts as Chief Judge pending the appointment of a substantive Chief Judge.
 
Patricia Mahmoud, an Idoma from Benue state is a judge of the Kano State High Court. She joined the state Ministry of Justice in 1983 and rose to become a Director of the Drafting and Research department. She was appointed to the bench in 1992. She is active in the Association of Women Judges in Nigeria and abroad. She has been the Kano State Coordinator for Women in Nigeria (WIN), a women's rights organization for years.

Justice Mahmoud is married to Mr. A. B. Mahmoud, SAN, a one-time Solicitor General and Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice of Kano state.

kai kai.This kwankwaso is a master strategist.Just imagine what mileage this wud given the GMB campaign when its known that a christian woman is now d chief justice in a core Muslim state like kano.
He has also targetted a large Ibo population in kano who wud otherwise have given GEJ some votes just because of his religion.
I see a landslide for GMB in Kano.

Hahaaa, why are you doing this now?, shebi dem tell us say ur na be islamic party? wetin you wan make we believe again naw?

anyway sha











Sai Buhari!!!

When are we going to have a Muslim chief judge in Anambra or Ebonyi?

Please someone's religion should not be the catalyst to occupying any position in Nigeria. We have allowed religion to divide us for too long instead of uniting us.

ELECTION! ELECTION!! ELECTION!!! I SAID ELECTION!!!! TIME IS HERE, POLITICIANS HAD BECAME REPENTED, AFTER BEBUARY WHAT HAPPENED NEXT, SOME IN THE CHURCH WHO NEVER GO CHURCH BEFORE, MAYBE NEXT FRIDAY SOME WILL GO MUSK,.

THE KWAKWAHARAM KNOWS THAT HE WOULD HAVE LOST THE JUDICIARY IF HE HAD GIVEN IT TO THE WOMANS JUNIOR IN THE OFFICE.

THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT THAT.

70% OF THOSE JONATHAN APPOINTED ARE MUSLIMS. PLS LETS CLAP FOR JONATHAN.

GEJ TILL BUHARI EATS GRASS.

Good for Unity and good for Nigeria but keep trying harder and harder.

This wouldn't have been a big deal but PDP made so by insinuating a party is islamic


good one for the governor

They should have something in common

I strongly doubt the move is to please the Igbos like you erroneously want to potray the issue. With or without the Igbos in Kano it will be a landslide for Buhari . Also note the lady is from the North or specifically Middle belt. I don't see how that relates to the Igbo. abi Igbos are now from Benue abi Idoma?

Anyway nice one from the Governor. When will the same thing be emulated all over Nigeria. We pray that all the divide of religion and ethnicity will be a thing of the past.The governor is setting a good example and leading the way in his own domain to resort harmony and mutual respect.Signs of good things to come if change is achieved.Whilst the decade of divide and rule strategy of some haters is thrown into the gutters.

UP APC
UP Kwankwaso
UP Kano
