A crisis seems to be brewing between Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State and his political godfather, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, with the former allegedly refusing to sack two top government functionaries as directed by the latter.

The affected functionaries are the Commissioner for Information, Baba Dantiye and the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr Abdullahi Bichi.

A source said Kwankwaso was uncomfortable with Bichi's refusal to take instructions from him in handling some of his official duties.

The New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) national leader wants Dantiye to be replaced with a social media influencer whom he considers more competent to manage the ministry and image of the state government.

Sources close to the governor said Yusuf would rather have a one-to-one discussion with Kwankwaso over the issue than act on his ‘orders'.

It was further gathered that a group known as “Abba Tsaya Da Kafarka,” meaning,” Abba, Wake Up And Assert Yourself” has emerged, in support of Yusuf.

According to sources close to the group, it has become important for Yusuf to stop behaving like an errand boy.

The source said the group believed that Kwankwaso hand-picked most of the government's political office holders, including the commissioners.

Members of the National Assembly on the platform of the NNPP recently met with Yusuf and urged him to assert his independence.

Similarly, Alhaji Hamisu Dungurawa, Chairman of NNPP in Kano State, has announced the suspension of the SSG and Alhaji Muhammad Diggol, Commissioner for Transport from the party.

He said that the two principal officers were suspended over alleged anti-party activities.

When contacted Kwankwaso said he was in line with the actions of the party chairman, adding that as a loyal party man, he would not contradict the party leadership.

“I will not say anything more since the party chairman has already addressed it”, he said.
