This appointment comes just days after she faced criticism for leading a controversial display of undergarments during the visit of Nigeria's First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, to Kano.

The incident attracted widespread condemnation from various quarters within and outside the state. The Kano State Government also distanced itself from the event, stating that it does not reflect the cultural or religious values of the people.

Teemahcool subsequently issued a public apology, pledging not to repeat such behavior. She gained popularity during the election period as a supporter of the council chairman and remained actively involved in his campaign leading up to his victory.
