Malam ahmad ibrahim kano5/3/2023 Many of these politicians (some of them have passed on) contributed immensely to the political, economic and social development of northern Nigeria. Other top notchers from the old North were Chief Joseph Tarka Alhaji Maitama Sule Alhaji Tanko Yakasai Chief Paul Unongo Alhaji Yahaya Kwande Alahji Abubakar Rimi and many others.

In the last half-century or so, northern Nigeria paraded some notable politicians who, no doubt, have made the region proud.
