Kano State Governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf has bombed Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, the immediate-past Secretary to the State Government (SSG) he sacked over issues bordering on usurpation and administrative negligence, calling him a frustrated liar whose motive is to destabilise Kano state.

Governor Yusuf  issued a blistering response to recent accusations made by Baffa Bichi,  describing the claims as “baseless fabrications intended to mislead the public and tarnish reputations.”

This was contained in a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.

Governor Yusuf dismissed all the allegations made by Bichi via social media, branding him “a shameless liar” whose utterances are unworthy of serious attention.

“The claims are not only false but also laughable. Baffa Bichi is a big liar, and everything he said is a total fallacy,” Yusuf declared.

The Governor vehemently refuted the assertion that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, is receiving N2 billion monthly from the Kano State Government.

Governor Yusuf described the allegation as, “the height of political desperation and dishonesty.”

“Senator Kwankwaso is one of the purest and most selfless individuals in Kano. He has never demanded a penny from this administration, nor has he interfered with the government’s finances,” Governor Yusuf  said.

He also criticized Baffa Bichi’s timing and motive, noting that he served in the government for several months without making such claims—until after his dismissal due to incapacitation, poor performance and administrative negligence.

“You were in this government for more than a year l, If you had any integrity, you would have spoken out while still in office. But you chose silence until you were sent parking. That exposes your real motive,” Yusuf added.

The Governor concluded by reaffirming his commitment to transparency and good governance, urging the people of Kano to disregard what he called, “the noise of bitter politicians who have lost relevance.”
