Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin removes his Special Legislative Aide, Umar Alhassan (also known as King Indara), after posts on social media featuring the phrase “Abba must go.” Both outlets report the action follows public commentary aimed at Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
The decision is announced through Barau’s office, according to a statement released by Barau’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shitu Madaki Kunchi. The posts are described as disrespectful or targeting the Kano governor, and outlets link the removal to how Alhassan used the slogan publicly.
While both reports focus on the same incident and the same reason—posts containing the “Abba must go” message—one outlet frames it as part of campaigning, while the other describes it more generally as “social media posts considered disrespectful.” No additional details about any investigation, internal disciplinary process, or response from Alhassan are provided in the accounts shared.
