Sack all heads of Kano tertiary institutions – Kwankwasiyya movement tell Abba
By Uzair Adam Imam
A Kwankwasiyya movement, Kwankwasiyya Alheri, has called on the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, to relieve all heads of tertiary institutions in the state for dancing to the political tunes of the previous administration of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
The group alleged that some of these tertiary institution heads became the campaign agents of APC during the 2023 general elections and turned the premises of their institutions into APC campaign centres where different political gatherings were held.
This call was made on Wednesday in a statement signed by the Kwankwasiyya Alheri Spokesperson, Isma’il Usman Dan Iya, on behalf of the Chairman, Comrade Abubakar Danladi.
Dan Iya added that there were allegations that some heads of these tertiary institutions compiled names of Kwansiyya staff working in various institutions, willing to sack them if APC won the Kano state gubernatorial election.
The statement reads in part, “Meanwhile, the leadership of this association is passionately calling on His Excellency to relieve all these appointees as they are growing muscles to fight him again in the 2027 General Elections as they did in the previous elections.
“We are reminding His Excellency that some of these appointees still holding various positions laughed at and intimidated those that sacrificed their job and fought for your success.
“Additionally, the sacrifices of these people that support you should not be in vain, while carrying alone your enemies, who leak government confidential information, in your administration.
“Some of these offices include; Head of Service of the State, Head of all Tertiary Institutions, Appointed Permanent Secretaries, Local Government Chairmen, Supervisory Councillors, Education Secretaries, to mention but a few.
“His Excellency should be reminded that Dr Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, the godfather of the Kwankwasiyya movement, will never be happy with the delay in relieving these people [who worked against your victory], let alone his ardent supporters,” the statement reads.
