A Kano State commissioner, Waiya, has said that
effective governance is rooted in loyalty and mutual trust, arguing that it
would be inappropriate for a deputy governor who is no longer aligned with the
administration to continue participating in executive council meetings.
Speaking to journalists in Kano on Thursday, the
commissioner stressed that government business depends heavily on
confidentiality, which he said cannot be guaranteed without trust.
“This is his personal decision, but there is no
justification for someone who is no longer part of the administration to sit in
routine council meetings,” Waiya said.
“In government, sensitive issues are discussed based
on trust. You cannot be sure who such a person may share important information
with,” he added.
Waiya further stated that, in his opinion, the most
honourable option available to the deputy governor would be to resign.
“If I were in his position, I would respectfully step
aside,” he said.
Political Developments in Kano
The commissioner’s remarks come amid broader political
changes in the state, including Governor Abba Yusuf’s recent defection from the
New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Waiya described the governor’s move as a positive
development for Kano State, noting that closer ties with the Federal Government
would enhance access to development projects and federal interventions.
He also assured residents that the state government is
actively working to resolve the ongoing emirate tussle through dialogue and
strict adherence to the rule of law.
According to him, the administration remains committed
to maintaining peace and stability, ensuring that political disagreements do
not interfere with governance or undermine the collective interests of the
people of Kano State.
