Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Abdullahi Ata, has accused the Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, of disrespecting President Bola Tinubu.
The minister, in a statement by his media aide, Seyi Olorunsola, said the Kano deputy governor, while speaking on the lingering emirship tussle in Kano State, had asked President Tinubu to come and remove the emir he enthroned and kept in a graveyard.
The minister said the statement was “inflammatory and reckless.”
According to Gwarzo, the Deputy Governor’s audacity in publicly addressing the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in such an uncouth and disrespectful manner is unacceptable, disgraceful, and an affront to the dignity of the nation’s highest office.
The minister called on the Deputy Governor of Kano State, and by extension the Kano State Government, to withdraw the “inflammatory” remarks within the next seventy-two hours, beginning from Saturday.
