The Kano State Commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Waiya, has dispelled rumours that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has lost control of his administration following his defection to the All Progressives Congress. “The story is not only mischievous and deliberate but also ill-conceived, clearly designed to mislead the public, to say Governor Yusuf lost grip of his Government”. He said the facts are clear and settled, adding that commissioners in charge of the most powerful and strategic ministries of government remain firmly with the governor. “These ministries oversee policy, finance, infrastructure, local government administration, service delivery, and information management. Political drama may excite commentators, but governance responds only to structure, legality, and control and all three pillars of governance remain firmly under the governor’s grip.
