There’s no need to fake Public outrage. Instead of shortchanging the public as he so often does, Ganduje should let the Yakasais of Kano be.

We don’t need the drama or the hypocrisy. The growing army of rebels in Ganduje’s cabinet is a reflection of where the governor’s heart really is; a true gauge of what he thinks of Buhari and Buhari’s presidency. He should come to terms with his own hypocrisy and save himself the misery of crooked courtesies.

When both men came out and met at the wash-hand stand, Wright almost fainted. No need, Kirkman told him. Wright was not going to be a speechwriter in the White House anymore, Kirkman said. His rebellion just got him promoted as the press secretary to the incoming president! And now, Tanko Yakasai, has called on Buhari to resign for failing to secure the country. The state government later issued a long-winding explanation. Unlike the first time when Yakasai received a slap on the wrist for criticising Buhari’s handling of #EndSars, this time, Ganduje wielded the big stick.

But that’s just one way to explain it. The other way, which strips Ganduje’s actions of its drama and politics, is to see the governor for who he truly is: A hypocrite who has surrounded himself with birds of a feather. A man adept at making his own mess, yet believing no one is watching. Or maybe he doesn’t care.

What was the point, for example, in sacking Magaji for the post about Abba Kyari, only to rehabilitate the same fellow in a parastatal under the same government on juicier contract terms? And who’s to say we have heard the last word on Yakasai?
