Reactions have trailed comments by Kano state Commissioner for Works, Engr. Muazu Magaji who celebrated the death of Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Some of the commissioner’s comment on his facebook page is captured below:
Reacting to his comments, one of President Buhari’s aid, Bashir Ahmed, who expressed disappointment via his twitter handle wondered why such a government official would choose to make such remarks on the deceased.
He said, “I am really disappointed and pained by the Kano State Commissioner for Works, Engr. Muazu Magaji’s remarks on Mallam Abba Kyari’s demise, the commissioner was seen publicly celebrating the death on his Facebook page. I hope @KanoStateNG and @GovUmarGanduje will call him to order.
“It can be easily overlooked when some minor misguided people celebrate Malam Abba Kyari or anyone’s death, but when it’s a member of Kano Executive Council, a commissioner it would be hard to do the same, Engr Magaji’s action was irresponsible, for God’s sake he is a stakeholder.”
