Kano state Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has relieved the commissioner of Works and Infrastructure, Mu’azu Magaji of his appointment with immediate effect.
A statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, said the commissioner was sacked over his unguarded utterances against the person of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari.
He said as a public servant, the commissioner ought to have respected the office and refrained from any act capable of bringing 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 brief statement added.
