After five Commissioners quit, Yusuf cautions Kano cabinet over disloyalty, leaks
Abba Yusuf, the governor of Kano State, has warned members of the state executive council to avoid acts of disloyalty, internal rivalry and the leaking of confidential government information.
The warning was made public in a statement on Thursday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature, who said the governor spoke during the 38th executive council meeting.
According to the statement, the governor made it clear that such behaviour would no longer be accepted within the administration.
The governor replaced Musa with Bilkisu Maimota in an acting capacity, urging her to promote discipline, unity and professionalism within the civil service.
Bature also confirmed that five commissioners have resigned from Yusuf’s cabinet since the governor’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
At his formal welcome event into the APC, Yusuf said his decision to join the ruling party was essential to positioning the state at the heart of national decision-making and securing a better future for citizens.
He framed the move as one of responsibility rather than personal ambition, saying it would enable active engagement with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu and unlock accelerated development through stronger ties with the federal government.
Bature said the five commissioners declined to follow Yusuf to the APC and subsequently stepped down.
“Five commissioners had resigned following the political realignment. Four of them stepped down after declining to join the move to the APC,” the statement added.
“The affected ministries include Humanitarian Affairs, Youth, Internal Security and Special Duties.
Bature said the governor accepted their resignations and wished the former officials success in their future endeavours.
“Governor Yusuf explained that recent political developments informed his decision, alongside key stakeholders, to align with the APC in the interest of the state’s development and stronger collaboration with the federal government,” Bature stated.
The governor urged the remaining cabinet members to remain united and committed to the administration’s goals for the progress of Kano.
