Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has dismissed one of his aides, Umar Alhassan, also known as King Indara, from his position as Special Legislative Assistant (SLA) in the office of the Deputy Senate President. The reason for this action was Indara's social media post that targeted Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, using the phrase "Abba Must Go."
A statement released by Senator Barau's Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shitu Madaki Kunchi, on Friday explained that the dismissal was due to Indara's "indiscipline and disrespect." The Deputy Senate President emphasized that this action was not in line with the values of respect and decorum upheld by his office, nor was it consistent with the principles of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Senator Barau, who represents Kano North, reiterated his commitment to the APC and expressed his prayers for the party's success "from top to bottom." Indara, who is also a well-known Kano TikToker, had posted on his Facebook page on Friday that Kano belongs to Kwankwaso, while noting his continued membership in the APC.
