Imoro Yakubu Kakpagu

Imoro Yakubu Kakpagu is a local government administrator who represented Kumbungu in the Northern Region for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for two terms, from 2005 to 2013. He was born in Kumbungu in February 1958.

He trained at the Institute of Local Government Studies, worked as a revenue inspector for the Ministry of Local Government, and graduated in public administration from GIMPA in 2008. He won Kumbungu in 2004 with 77.5 percent of the vote after the sitting MP, Muhammad Mumuni, became the NDC's running mate, and held it in 2008. Mumuni beat him in the 2012 primary. When Mumuni left the seat in 2013 for an international post, Kakpagu won the NDC ticket but lost the by-election to Moses Amadu Yahaya of the CPP. Hamza Adam of the NDC holds Kumbungu today.
