Yusuf Tanko Sununu, the Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, has resigned from his position to pursue his political ambitions in Kebbi State. This decision was made in line with regulations that require public office holders to vacate their roles before seeking elective positions. Sununu, a former member of the House of Representatives, represented Shanga, Yauri, and Ngaski Federal Constituency, and is now believed to be preparing to run for the Kebbi South Senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections. His resignation was confirmed on Monday, and when contacted, he simply affirmed that he had stepped down. Before his role at the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry, Sununu served as Minister of Education in Kebbi State, where he was associated with several social intervention initiatives that had a positive impact on communities across the state. His resignation marks a new chapter in his political career, as he sets his sights on the upcoming elections. The next steps for Sununu will be to formally announce his candidacy and begin his campaign for the Kebbi South Senatorial seat.
