Some Commissioners in Kano State have reaffirmed their loyalty to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, dismissing reports suggesting divisions within the state executive council.

In a press statement issued on Thursday, the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, described such reports as mischievous, deliberate and misleading, noting that they were designed to distort the realities on ground.

Waiya stressed that governance is driven by structure, legality and effective control, not propaganda or speculation.

According to him, commissioners heading the core ministries that determine policy direction, manage public finance and deliver critical infrastructure remain firmly aligned with the governor.

He listed the ministries of Education, Health, Works, Finance and Economic Planning, Planning and Budget, Information and Internal Affairs, Justice, Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Agriculture, Water Resources, Environment and Climate Change, Transport, Power and Renewable Energy, Housing Development, Rural and Community Development, as well as Procurement and Monitoring, as fully intact and loyal to the administration.

“These are the true levers of government and the centres where decisions are taken and implemented. Claims to the contrary were either borne out of ignorance or a deliberate attempt to mislead the public,” he said.

The commissioner maintained that the stability of these key institutions means governance in Kano remains uninterrupted, with policies being formulated and implemented, projects progressing across sectors, and the bureaucracy fully aligned with the administration’s agenda.

He cautioned critics against confusing political headlines with actual authority, noting that while political movements may generate public attention, effective governance depends on control of institutions and functional structures.

He concluded that the Yusuf administration would not be distracted or weakened by political developments, insisting that the governor continues to govern effectively and strategically in line with his mandate. (Daily Trust)
