Ganduje fires commissioner for alleged disloyalty
Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has sacked the State Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Muhammad Adam, known as “Baba Impossible”.
Information and Home Affairs Commissioner Muhammad Garba disclosed this to reporters on Saturday.
Mr. Garba said the commissioner was removed from his post for disloyalty to the authorities and for inconsiderate remarks.
The dismissal is effective immediately, he said.
“The dismissal of the commissioner and member of the state executive council follows his inappropriate behavior as a civil servant carrying out a sensitive function, as well as his inconsiderate remarks,” Mr. Garba said.
>The Information Commissioner said the beleaguered official was also running his office business as a personal matter and unilaterally reducing workdays for ministry staff, exempting Wednesdays and Fridays.
In addition to acting without consultation, Mr. Adam has been disloyal to the government, he added.
He announced that the Governor had appointed Nazifi Ishaq as his replacement.
The governor wished the fired commissioner good luck in his future endeavours.
However, embattled commissioner Mr Adam told reporters that he had not been sacked but had formally delivered his letter of resignation to the government on Friday.
While he did not specify how he delivered the resignation letter, the former commissioner said the government lied and acted maliciously when announcing his sacking on Saturday.
