Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has challenged any member of his cabinet who is unwilling to adhere to the policies and philosophy of his administration to resign or be removed.
Besides, Governor Yusuf declared that he will no longer condone any act of sabotage, dishonesty and attempt to compromise his zero tolerance to drug abuse henceforth.
Governor Yusuf was furious with the recent case of the state Commissioner for Transportation Ibrahim Namadi, who was involved in the bailout of one of the most notorious drug barons who was declared wanted several months ago by the security agencies.
He spoke at the opening of the 30th state executive council meeting on Wednesday, where he cited activities of the government held after the 29th meeting.
“Let me inform the Executive Council members that yesterday, the 5th of August, 2025, I received the report of the Investigation Committee on the case of one of our commissioners, specifically the Commissioner of Transportation, who was involved in the bailout of one of the most notorious drug barons that was declared wanted several months ago by the security agencies.
“I must say that it is an unfortunate incident that warranted the state government to set up a very powerful committee to unravel the mysteries surrounding this unfortunate act of the Honourable Commissioner.
“I am happy to say that the committee did an excellent job and presented the report yesterday. The report was received by me, where I promised to look into it thoroughly and ensure that justice is done in whichever way.
“At the end of the day, the commissioner concerned tendered his resignation letter, which I accepted there and then. I therefore wish to call on all other members of this council to be very, very careful. I therefore call on you to be more careful in whatever you do.
“On this note, I also want to say that the state government will no longer condone any act of sabotage or dishonesty, directly or indirectly. I want to reiterate again that anybody who is not ready to work with us should please resign honourably and go his way before we act,” Governor Yusuf noted.
