Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has sacked the state commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Muazu Magaji, for rejoicing over the death of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.
This is coming after the commissioner made a Facebook post on his page , saying ‘Nigeria is free’ as he express his happiness over the death of the deceased chief of staff, Abba Kyari.
On Facebook, Mr Magaji prayed for the repose of the deceased but said: “Win win… Nigeria is free and Abba kyari ya mutu a cikin annoba… Mutuwar shahada in Har da Imani mutum ya cika!”
A statement signed by the commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba said the commissioner was removed following his unguarded utterances against the person of the late Abba Kyari.
According to him, as a public servant, the commissioner ought to have respected the profanity of the 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 added.
According to the statement, late Abba Kyari had led a life worthy of emulation by serving his country to the best of his ability.
Mr Magaji reacting to his sack letter from Governor Ganduje, he posted:
