JUST IN: Kano Gov. Sacks Commissioner Over Comment Mocking Late Abba Kyari

Abdullahi Ganduje, Executive Governor of Kano state has dismissed Engr. Mu’azu Magaji, Commissioner of Works and Infrastructure for tweeting against late Abba Kyari, President Buhari’s Chief of Staff.

This was contained in a statement signed by the state’s Commissioner for Information, Malam Mohammed Garba who said Ganduje’s administration will not condone unguarded utterances from state officeholders in the state.

Following the announcement of Kyari’s death, Mu’azu took to his Twitter handle to post “We pray this time around, may God gives us a good CoS.” According to Tribune 

However, the tweet has led to Engr Mu’azu losing his position in Ganduje’s cabinet.

The statement reads:

“The action of a public servant, personal or otherwise reflects back on the government and therefore, the Ganduje administration would not tolerate people in official capacities engaging in personal vendetta or otherwise."
