Ganduje Fires Commissioner Over Attack On Kyari

Kano State governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has relieved the commissioner of Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Mu’azu Magaji of his appointment with immediate effect.

A statement signed by the commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba said the commissioner was removed following his unguarded utterances against the person of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari.

He said as a public servant, the commissioner ought to have respect for his office by refraining from any act capable of rendering the office to disrepute.

“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,” the statement reads briefly.

According to the statement, late Abba Kyari had led a life worthy of emulation by serving his country to the best of his ability.
