Why did the Kano governor allegedly exchange blows with SSG?
The SSG has been on medical leave in Saudi Arabia for several weeks now. As a result, the governor directed Abdullahi Musa, the head of the civil service, to run the affairs of the office of the SSG in an acting capacity.

Amid this, reports circulated on social media, mostly from the opposition party, that the Kano governor and the SSG fellout since the senior special assistant to the governor was arrested.
The SSG was allegedly caught siphoning palliative (foodstuffs) and changing their sacks to be sold in the open market.
According to the rumour, the SSG nominated the SSA, and the public prosecution led to a bitter complaint by the governor, which eventually led to the brawl.
Governor Yusuf denies physical brawl with SSG
In his reaction to the rumour, Governor Yusuf, on Tuesday, January 1, after the inauguration of the newly appointed permanent secretaries, said his government never sacked the SSG.
He also clarified that he did not have any misunderstanding with him as alleged.
His comment reads in part:
“Someone was saying that he was there when we engaged in two fighting. This is the highest level of ignorance but we pray God should relieve them.
“SSG is still there in his position unshakable and we are thankful to him for the kind of contributions he gave and hope when he returns, he sustained the tempo."
