Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has removed Engr. Buba Galadima from his position as Chairman of the Governing Council of Kano State Polytechnic.
The development was announced in a statement issued on Saturday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
Following the decision, the governor approved the appointment of the Emir of Gaya, Dr. Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir, as the new chairman of the institution’s governing council.
According to the statement, Galadima’s removal was part of a restructuring exercise aimed at aligning the institution with the administration’s Kano First Agenda.
”Although the tenure of the Governing Council is for a period of three years, the appointment of the Chairman was terminated before expiration due to the ongoing reforms for optimal performance of the Polytechnic.”
The statement added that the governor commended Galadima for his contributions while in office.
”Governor Yusuf expressed appreciation to Engr. Buba Galadima for the services he rendered to the institution during his tenure as Chairman of the Governing Council.
”The Governor urged the newly appointed Chairman, the Emir of Gaya, to bring his wealth of experience, leadership and commitment to bear in repositioning Kano State Polytechnic for greater academic and administrative excellence.”
Galadima, a close associate of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, is a prominent figure in the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
In an interview with Trust TV shortly before Yusuf’s defection to the All Progressives Congress, Galadima had warned the governor against going against Kwankwaso.
‘They know that apart from God, the person who made them is Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Each and every one of them. I am sure if they sleep, if they go to bed, they cannot sleep. Because it was Kwankwaso single-handedly that made them chairmen and legislators. But God did not abandon him.”
”God made Abba Kabir Yusuf governor of Kano State. But anything that happens in this world, there is a reason. There is a ladder. Kwankwaso is that ladder. To all elected NNPP people in Kano, even PDP, even APC.
“There is no single elected APC person in Kano that did not go through the Kwankwaso school of politics. If there is, tell me. Starting from Ganduje, Abdullahi Abbas, Barau Jibrin, Kawu Sumaila, who are they? All of them were Kwankwaso’s boys.”
