Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has warned members of the State Executive Council against acts of disloyalty and the leaking of government information.
The governor issued the warning on Thursday during the 38th State Executive Council meeting held at the Government House in Kano.
Governor Yusuf disclosed that some commissioners had resigned following recent political realignments within the state.
He said five commissioners had already stepped down from their positions and that he had accepted their resignations.
“I just want to inform members of the council that, following the political alignments, some commissioners have decided to resign,” the governor said.
“Of the total number, five of them have resigned, and I accepted their resignation. I therefore also wish them the best of luck in their future endeavours.”
The governor also urged the remaining members of the council to reaffirm their commitment to the administration and the ideals of their political party.
“To those that have decided to remain with us and align with the principles and philosophies of our party, I want to appeal to you to rededicate yourselves to the service of the present administration,” he said.
He stressed the need for unity among members of the government, noting that collective effort was necessary to deliver on the administration’s mandate to the people.
“I want you to know that we are still one party and we have to work together for the betterment of our people,” Yusuf added.
The governor further warned that the era of internal divisions, disloyalty and information leaks within the administration must come to an end.
“The era of rancour, the era of disloyalty, the era of leakage of information, and the era of coming in between one another is over,” he said.
He urged council members to remain focused and committed to their responsibilities, warning that anyone who goes against the principles of the administration would be removed.
“However, that does not mean that whoever goes contrary to the dictates and the principles of this administration will not be voted out,” the governor said.
Meanwhile, the state Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, was absent from the meeting.
Gwarzo has reportedly declined to join the All Progressives Congress alongside the governor and has also not resigned from his position.
