Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has suspended Ibrahim Rabi’u, a Senior Special Reporter (SSR) attached to the state Ministry of Transportation over unguarded utterances.
The government has also directed the issuance of query to the suspended aide over his recent comments against Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s purported defection.
The aide has allegedly shared a statement crediting it to Mr Kwankwaso, where the NNPP leader explained why he won’t join APC despite series of overtures by President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement made available by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the suspension takes immediate effect adding that the suspension was issued by the Secretary to the State Government Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim on Saturday.
The government cautioned all political apointees against unauthorised statements, insisting that any official comment must get clearance.
The government has distanced itself from the purported claim, describing the statement authored by the suspended aide as solely coming from the author for reasons best known to him.
It reminded the general public that only the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs Comrade Ibrahim Wayya is authorized to speak on behalf of the government while the Director General, Media and Publicity, Sanusi Bature speaks for Governor.
