Four top officials of the Kano
state government have pulled out of the administration of Abdullahi Ganduje,
governor of the state.
According to Daily Trust, the
four officials submitted their resignation letters to the secretary to the
state government on Friday.
While Aminu Daurawa (pictured)
resigned as the director-general of Kano state Hisbah board, Abba Koki quit as
chairman of Kano State Pilgrims Board.
Also, Abubakar Kandahar and
Nazifi Inuwa left their respective offices as permanent commissioner I at Kano
state Shariah Commission and permanent commissioner II at Zakkah and Hubsi
commission.
It is unclear if their resignation
is connected with the crisis rocking the Kano emirate but Muhammad Garba, the
state commissioner of information, was quoted as saying it was in line with the
governor’s plan to disengage all political appointees in preparation for his
second tenure.
The development comes two days
after Ganduje signed a bill that reduced the power of Muhammad Sanusi, emir of
Kano state.
He had signed a bill that created
four additional emirates in the state, leaving Sanusi with the control of 10
out of 44 local government areas in the state.
The move was said to be targeted
at Sanusi who reportedly worked against the re-election of the governor.
