The Governor made this known when he received the Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero who paid the traditional homage at government house as part of the Hawan Nasarawa activities.

Governor Yusuf said the commissions were set up to ensure transparency and accountability in government and to tackle the menace of political violence in the state.

He vowed to investigate and fish out perpetrators of political violence, threatening that the government would not spare anybody irrespective of their political parties.

According to him, the move was to put an end to political violence which leads to the loss of lives and destruction of properties and to place the state on the path of economic and political development.

Governor Yusuf promised to work hand in hand with the emirate while noting their contribution and cooperation with the government.

Earlier, the Emir commended the government for the distribution of palliative which he said to a large extent cushioned the hardship among the residents while calling for adjustment where necessary.

The Emir condemned in totality the trend of horse riding, thuggery, phone snatching and other internal crimes which according to him lead to loss of lives and properties.
