The Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has fired his media assistant, Salihu Tanko-Yakasai, a day after probing President Muhammadu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor stated Mr Tanko-Yakassai was relieved of his appointment due to “unguarded comments and utterances.” The state commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, affirmed the governor’s directive to newsmen on Saturday, February 27, saying his “sack is with immediate effect.”
Mr Garba said the aide had failed to separate between personal opinion and official stand on matters of public interest and therefore could not be permitted to stay to serve in a government he does not believe in.
Mr Yakasai is currently being arrested at the State Security Service (SSS) headquarters in Abuja after his arrest in Kano on Friday evening, February 26. His arrest came hours after calling on President Buhari to check Nigeria’s worsening insecurity or resign.
