When Muazu Magaji, an engineer and until two Saturdays ago Kano State Works and Infrastructure commissioner, took to his Facebook page to pass subtle but obviously disagreeable comments on the passing of President Muhammadu Buhari’s chief of staff, Abba Kyari, he could not have been so naive as not to know that his post had become a red rag to a bull.
Except investigative reporters avail the public of the true feelings of the state government, there is not enough in their official statement relieving Mr Magaji of his appointment to indicate whether they thought he mirrored what many radical Kanawa politicians privately felt about Mallam Kyari, especially his style and his quiet but imperial mix of conservatism and pragmatism.
In the heat of the exchange between the two, the sufficiently provoked younger el-Rufai made the cardinal mistake of threatening to gang-rape the offender’s mother, prompting many critics to suggest that he could not threaten what he was not capable of. Then he capped his post with snide and exceedingly prurient ethnic aside on the Igbo people.
Gov Ganduje has sacked his Works and Infrastructure commissioner for his indiscretion. Even after the Kaduna State first lady had apologised on behalf of her family and son, women groups have continued to campaign for the younger el-Rufai to be charged in court for violating both the Cybercrimes Act, 2015 and the Violence Against Persons Act, 2015.
Here are a few of his comments found particularly offensive, as reproduced by a newspaper based in the North: “Abba Kyari is no ordinary citizen. He amassed so much power that decided the fate of my nation and its people…Hence his death is never personal.
Since then, other notable personalities have written tributes to the late Mallam Kyari, most of them extolling his virtues, but managing in the same breath to present an incomplete picture of his strengths and weaknesses, a picture redone and reanimated by Mr Magaji’s portraiture. The tributes written by both the president and his nephew, Mamman Daura, the former editor who mentored Mallam Kyari and is regarded as very influential in the corridors of power, have been the archetype.
I believe the sacked commissioner gave his personal tribute according to the dictates of his conscience. Politicians should learn from his views and remember that they will be judged privately or in public for their acts of omission, commission or excesses Truth is indeed bitter
