According to the commissioner, the sack is with immediate
effect.
He said the aide had failed to differentiate between personal
opinion and official stand on matters of public concern and
therefore cannot be allowed to continue to serve in a government he
does not believe.
The governor also warned political appointees and public
servants to guard against making statements capable of drawing
superfluous controversy.
The statement reaffirmed the commitment of Governor Ganduje to
the policies and programmes of the administration of President
Muhammadu Buhari.
