Kano Governor Yusuf has called on President Tinubu to remove the state police commissioner for not participating in independence parade.

Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabiru Yusuf, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove the Kano State Commissioner of Police from Kano for not participating in the independence parade in the state.

Governor Abba Kabir made the call during his speech at the Nigeria?s 65th Independence Day celebration at Sani Abacha stadium Kofar Mata on Tuesday.

Yusuf was visibly upset when he discovered that the traditional police vehicle was not present to take him round and escort him to the parade arena.

The absence of the police ban seemed to cause him and other celebrants discontent, prompting his aides to make another arrangement using his own pilot car to proceed with the event as planned,

In his speech, the governor expressly condemned the action, placing the blame squarely on the State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori.

He however, accused the police commissioner of intentionally withdrawing from the planned celebration at the eleven hour to undermine him.

?We condemn this unnational, unprofessional attitude of the Commissioner of Police. History will judge his actions. I had to use my own pilot car to go round?

?This is unethical, this is unprofessional and disservice to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I therefore, wish to seize the opportunity to call on the President, whom we know as no nonsense man, to remove the commissioner of Police from Kano today.?

?On behalf of all of them you I am writing a petition against him through the Office of the National Security Adviser for onward submission to president of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu? the Governor stated. (AriseNews TV)
