By Juliet Vincent
There is a seeming friction between the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso over vested interests concerning some top officials in the Governor’s administration.
It was leant that it stem from the refusal of the Governor from sacking two Government officials on the orders of Kwankwaso. They are the Commissioner for Information, Baba Dantiye and Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr Abdullahi Bichi.
DAYLIGHT REPORTERS gathered Kwankwaso wants Bichi sacked for refusing to take orders from him regarding some policies while he wants Dantiye replaced because he alleged is incompetent to manage government’s image.
However, it was gathered that an influential group has emerged in Kano in support of the Governor urging him not to be taking orders from Kwankwaso anymore but assert himself as Chief Executive of the state.
