Daniel Gani, yesterday, joined the league of aides that had so far thrown in the towel, The Guardian gathered.

Paying glowing tribute to the late Mama Taraba, Sen. Alhassan Jumai Aisha, whom he described as his political mentor, Gani disclosed that Mama Taraba influenced his resignation, which occurred few days after that of Sale Ahmadu.
