Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, of Kano state has sacked his media adviser, Salihu Tanko-Yakasai, a day after criticising President Muhammadu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The governor said Mr Tanko-Yakassai was relieved of his appointment for “unguarded comments and utterances.”

Mr Garba said the aide had failed to differentiate between personal opinion and official stand on matters of public concern and therefore could not be allowed to continue to serve in a government he does not believe in.

“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 Governor Ganduje to the policies and programmes of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari,” the commissioner said.

Mr Yakasai is currently being detained at the State Security Service (SSS) headquarters in Abuja after his arrest in Kano Friday evening.
