Following the slew of defections that have taken place in the political landscape over the last couple of day, Kano state Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has just been hit by it.
Ganduje lost about 10 aides who all dropped resignation letters stating that they wanted to join their boss, the former deputy governor of the state, Prof Hafiz Abubakar who also resigned 2 days ago.
One of the former aides, Dr Abdullahi Zubairu Chula, spoke to members of the press and he stated that the aides tended their resignations as a show of solidarity to the former deputy governor who also ditched Ganduje.
Chula said “We decided to resign because our leader, the former Deputy Governor, Prof Hafiz Abubakar has also left the government,

Others are: Dr Bakari Ado Hussaina (Special Adviser on Education), Alhaji Namoda-Birnin (Special Adviser on Grave Yard), Habibu Abubakar (Senior Special Assistant) and Idris Salisu Rogo (SSA attached to Deputy Governor’s Office).
