juicy scoop on the Kano State drama
Governing Official Yusuf Issues Harsh Warning to Sacked Secretary to the State Government Bichi Regarding Casual Dismissal of Kwankwaso's Name
The recent dust-up in Kano State politics has reached a new level, with the Governor, Abba Yusuf, firing back at the sacked Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, over allegations of corruption.
Bichi claimed that Yusuf's administration is more corrupt than that of the former Governor Ganduje, by a factor of ten, and that the Governor has been doling out a whopping N2 billion every month to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the 2023 New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate.
But Yusuf wasn't having it. He slammed Bichi for his baseless, unfounded allegations, calling him mentally unstable and warning that his attacks on political, religious, and traditional leaders won't be tolerated.
Yusuf even threatened legal action against radio stations that give Bichi a platform to air his accusations. "We'll put a stop to this," he warned.
It seems Bichi's appointment as SSG didn't quite sit well with the Governor or the Ulamas, despite several rejections. Yusuf dismissed the corruption claims, insisting that Kwankwaso's reputation is beyond reproach, despite Bichi's accusations to the contrary.
a piece of the puzzle
Interestingly, rumors are circulating that Bichi's removal may have been a strategic move, with deeper implications for the state's political landscape. The Kano government has chosen to remain tight-lipped on the reasons for Bichi's dismissal, but speculation is rife!
