The Commissioner of Land and Physical Planning in Kano State, Adamu Kibiya has been fired by Gov Abba Kabir Yusuf..
Recall that the commissioner was seen on a video that went virile threatening the lives of judges of the gubernatorial election petition tribunal if they judge against the NNPP.
The Commissioner of Information, Baba Halilu Dantiye, disclosed this while addressing journalists at Government House, Kano, on Friday, September 15.
Governor Yusuf orders immediate dismissal of commissioner,
Dantiye said Governor Yusuf had directed the immediate dismissal of Kibiya.
Kibiya was reportedly captured in a viral video asking judges presiding over the Kano governorship elections petition to choose between their lives and their work while delivering the judgement.
Speaking during a protest organised by members of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Kano state, Kibiya said:
“People voted for us and some people are attempting to do injustice. We want to tell the judges that we will not accept this. Any judge that is willing to deprive us of our rights will regret it. Whatever will happen, we won’t care…”
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the New Nigeria People’s Party government (NNPP) in Kano State of an alleged N10 million bribe to judges at the election tribunal.
The Spokesman for Gawuna-Gari Campaign Council, Malam Muhammad Garba, disclosed this in a statement while reacting to the allegation made by Justice Flora Azinge that some senior lawyers were attempting to bribe judges in her team.
