SAN FRANCISCO, July 31, (THEWILL) – Barely 24 hours after the impeachment of the Kano State Speaker, Yusuf Abdullahi Atta, the State’s Deputy Governor, Prof Hafiz Abubakar, has alleged threat to his life, as well as plans to impeach him.
To this end, Abubakar has petitioned the Police and the Department of State Security Services (DSS).
In the petition, addressed to the Kano State Police Commissioner, Rabiu Yusuf, copied to the Assistant Inspector-General in Charge of Zone One and the DSS State Director, the deputy governor, prayed for the deployment of more security operatives around him.
Among others, he accused the state government of disbursing funds to mobilise youths from the 44 Local Government Areas of the State to protest against his continued stay in office.
Abubakar, a loyalist of former state governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has been at loggerheads, with Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, following the rifts between Kwankwaso and the incumbent.
