They also accused Governor Ishaku of leaving the state for the past 54 days without transmitting power to his deputy, Haruna Manu.

El-Sudi said: “The governor has failed to do the needful and he has been out of the state for 54 days now. The House has also failed to invoke the necessary constitutional provisions. We, therefore, call on the house to urgently do this in the interest of the state.”
