Kano deputy gov under fire for alleged derogatory remarks

Published on March 25, 2025 at 04:18 PM

The Women Lawyers Congress has called on Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to provide a public clarification or apology regarding alleged derogatory remarks made by his Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam.

The remarks, which were captured in a widely circulated video, where he made harsh comments on ‘Gwaggo', a term used to address the former first lady, Hafsat Abdullahi Ganduje.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Chairlady of the Congress, Barrister Nafisa Abba Ismail, criticized the Deputy Governor’s behavior, stating that it was part of a pattern of insulting respected figures.

She described such conduct as unbecoming of a leader and expressed concerns over his leadership ethics and respect for women.

The Congress urged the Governor to publicly clarify that the comments were not directed at Professor Hafsat Umar Ganduje.

If, however, they were intended for her, the Deputy Governor must provide an explanation or issue a formal apology to both Professor Ganduje and the people of Kano.

Barrister Nafisa emphasized that this issue extends beyond an individual, as it concerns principles, dignity, and respect for women in leadership. She warned that if the Deputy Governor continues making such statements, the Women Lawyers Congress will take legal action to hold him accountable.

The statement also stressed that public figures should not use their influence to undermine women and called for immediate action to prevent such behavior from setting a dangerous precedent in governance.
