Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has terminated the appointment of the Commissioner of Works and Infrastructure, Mu’azu Magaji, over comments against the late Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari.

This was made known in a statement on Saturday by the Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba.

The commissioner publicly celebrated Kyari’s death on Facebook.

The statement, however, said that as a public servant, Magaji ought to have respected the office by refraining from any act capable of rendering it to disrepute.

“The action of a public servant, personal or otherwise reflects back on the government and therefore, the Ganduje administration would not tolerate people in official capacities engaging in personal vendetta or otherwise,” the statement read.

Kyari was buried on Saturday in Abuja following his death on Friday.
