A former Chairman of Kumbotso Local Government Area of Kano State, Abdullahi Gali Shitu, popularly known as Comrade Abdullahi Gali Basaf, has returned to his tailoring business months after he was removed from office by a court.
Basaf, who served as council chairman until March 2026, said his decision to resume tailoring was intended to demonstrate that politics should not be regarded as a full-time profession or the only source of livelihood.
