Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has warned members of the State Executive Council against acts of disloyalty and leaking of government information.
Our sources reports that the governor issued the warning during an ongoing 38th State Executive Council meeting taking place at the Government House in Kano, on Thursday.
Speaking at the meeting, Governor Yusuf disclosed that some commissioners had already resigned following recent political alignments within the state.
“I just want to inform members of the council that, following the political alignments, some commissioners have decided to resign.”
“Of the total number, five of them have resigned, and I accepted their resignation. I therefore also wish them the best of luck in their future endeavours.”
The governor similarly urged the remaining members of the council to reaffirm their commitment to the administration and the ideals of their political party.
“To those that have decided to remain with us and align with the principles and philosophies of our party, I want to appeal to you to rededicate yourselves to the service of the present administration,” he said.
Yusuf stressed the need for unity among members of the government, noting that collective effort was necessary to deliver on the administration’s mandate to the people.
“I want you to know that we are still one party and we have to work together for the betterment of our people.”
The governor further warned that the era of internal divisions, disloyalty and information leaks within the administration must come to an end.
“The era of rancour, the era of disloyalty, the era of leakage of information, and the era of coming in between one another is over.”
He urged council members to remain focused and committed to their responsibilities, warning that anyone who goes against the principles of the administration would be removed.
“However, that does not mean that whoever goes contrary to the dictates and the principles of this administration will not be voted out.”
Meanwhile, the Deputy Governor of the state, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, was notably absent from the meeting.
Gwarzo has reportedly declined to join the APC alongside the governor and has also not resigned from his position.
