Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has relieved the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mu’azu Magaji, of his appointment with immediate effect.
A statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, said the affected Commissioner was removed following his unguarded utterances against the person of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari.
The Information Commissioner said 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.
Garba said the action of a public servant, whether personal or otherwise reflects on the government and therefore, the Ganduje administration would not tolerate people in official capacities engaging in personal vendetta or otherwise.
The statement said the late Abba Kyari had led a life worthy of emulation by serving his country to the best of his ability.
