Kano state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has sacked the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Engineer Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi.
The former SSG who was retained by Ganduje, is a close confidant and ally of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and was very influential during his administration.
According to reports, the Governor has been under pressure to sack the former SSG since the beginning of the cold war between him and his predecessor.
The governor quickly appointed Usman Alhaji Usman to replace him as the Secretary to the State Government.
The governor has also approved the appointment of Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed Kankarofi as the new principal private Secretary to the governor.
In a radio announcement on Saturday morning by head of civil service, Alhaji Auwalu Mohammed Naiya, Director General media and communication to the governor, Alhaji Halilu Dantiye, was posted as Permanent Secretary and replaced by Salihu Tanko Yakasai as new DG media.
