Kano state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has sacked the Commissioner for Works, Muazu Magaji, for his comments about deceased CoS Abba Kyari.
Ganduje Fires Commissioner For ‘Celebrating’ Abba Kyari’s Death
The sack is coming after the commissioner took to his Facebook page to declare that ‘Nigeria is now free’ following the death of Abba Kyari.
Odunews.com had earlier reported that Muazu expressed happiness over the demise of the former Chief of staff.
According to a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, 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 the office by refraining from any act capable of rendering it 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.
The deceased Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, died of complications from COVID-19.
