Monday, May 5, 2025 - Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, has slammed the sacked Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, for making corruption allegations against his government, including alleged monthly allocation of N2 billion to 2023 New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
“I think Baffa Bichi is mentally unstable because of he is
sound in his head, most of what he is attacking us with are baseless, unfounded
insinuations that have no place in the runnings of an administration,” the
governor said in response to the allegations.
Speaking during the maiden meeting between his government
and the 444 ward councillors on Sunday, Yusuf added, “Dr Baffa Bichi, despite
series of rejections of his appointment by Ulamas and many other stakeholders,
yet we appointed him to the exalted seat of SSG.
“Your (Bichi) efforts in crippling and throwing the names of
Kwankwaso into dustbin would not be taken lightly by us, you said all sorts of
things against our leader that you cannot prove.
“Let me tell you that Kwankwaso has gone through life, he
rose through the ranks politically and otherwise, including being one of the
most superior federal Minister of Defence and two term governor and senator but
one cannot show where he has done anything wrong.”
Yusuf further threatened to delete Bichi’s name from genuine
indigenes of Kano for his open attacks on political, religious and traditional
leaders.
In the same vein, the governor warned some radio stations
gave the sacked SSG Baffa Bichi the opportunity to attack individuals to desist
from doing so.
“We would not hesitate in taking legal actions against any
medium that allows its space for the likes of Baffa Bichi to air their wrong
notions and baseless unfounded insinuation on our leaders. We will not allow
this to continue,” Governor Yusuf warned.
Speaking to the councillors, Yusuf urged them to ensure that
the people at the grassroots feel their impact.
