Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state, has relieved his Special Adviser on Media, Salihu Yakasai of his appointment.
A statement by the Commissioner of Information, Mohammed Garba on Saturday said the sack is “over his continued unguarded comments and utterances, which are deemed contrary to the stand of the All Progressive Congress (APC) government which he is serving,” adding that the sack is with immediate effect.
“The aide had failed to differentiate between personal opinion and official stand on matters of public concern and therefore cannot be allowed to continue to serve in a government he does not believe.”
The governor also warned political appointees and public servants to guard against making statements capable of drawing superfluous controversy.
The statement reaffirmed the commitment of Ganduje to the policies and programmes of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
