Kaduna governor lashes commissioners

Kaduna State Governor Mukthar Ramalan Yero yesterday lashed out at members of the Executive Council, who he said never respected him as deputy to the late Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa.

But, to the widow of the late governor, he expressed love and compassion, saying she should call on him anytime the family is in need.

“The government will do everything possible to ensure that the Yakowa family is comfortable,” Yero said.

The governor, who spoke at a valedictory Executive Council meeting in honour of the late Yakowa, expressed disappointment that the commissioners never regarded him and left him to be on his own as the deputy governor.

Yero said he was also disappointed at the way some of the Commissioners and members of the executive council blackmailed him before Yakowa.

According to him, before he was appointed deputy governor, the late Yakowa showed him a list of six people contesting for the position and asked for his advice on who to pick.

“I told him to allow the spirit of God in him lead him to picking somebody and he thanked me and I left,” Yero said, adding that the late Yakowa once told him that some people had asked him (Yakowa) to remove him as deputy governor.

He said that some people, including commissioners and civil servants also went to the late Yakowa to blackmail him. He thanked God that he had resolved whatever differences they had.

Yero said two weeks ago, he and the late Yakowa ironed out their grievances and resolved to work together for the development of the state.

“I told him that I was closer to him as Commissioner for Finance than as deputy governor and that it was not supposed to be so,” Yero said.

Assembly Speaker Muazu Usman Gangara, who was also present alongside some members of the Assembly, described the late Yakowa as a very good man who never intruded in the affairs of the Assembly.

The Speaker said: “Death is an inevitable act. Sir Yakowa was a very good man and he never intruded in our affairs in the House of Assembly, and he never condemned our work, not even once. He always said to us we should live in peace and interact with the people of Kaduna State and bring to them what will benefit them in peace.

“He was a man of truth. We will look for a place to place his name in our state because he is a legend so he must be remembered forever so as people who want to emulate from his good work can follow through his steps.

“My advice to the new governor, Dr. Mukthar Ramalan Yero, is that he should be the governor of people, just like the late Yakowa was. He should be there for the people of Kaduna State; he should be alert at all time; he should be ready to accept and take advice from people.”

Thats Good for the commissioners....... Same way Yar'adua ministers and the ''cabals'' maltreated Jonathan when he was VP........


Nigerians are power drunk, give them a little access in the corridor of power and they will treat others they meet there like a piece of shit.......


This adage is true then;

'' Do GOOD to the people you meet on your way UP cuz you will surely meet them on ur way DOWN''


NOTHING LAST FOREVER!!!

RIP ;YAKOWA,AZAZI,SOWOLE,DABA AND THE REST!!!!!

a ti toje bo oloosa lowo, o ku baba eni ti yio bo.
Ti owo eni ba ti te eku ida ni a ma n bere iku ti o pa baba eni!

Sir, you are now the executive governor. Dissolve the cabinet and bring in your own people. People will never learn, never look down on anyone especially in politics. Is Jonathan not good enough example, he was the deputy governor that was ignored at political meetings, for the most part it was Mike who had his time and see where the relationship has led today.

Yokowa is dead and if his cabinet is useless to you, then send them packing.

Three gbosa for him for speaking out is mind.

how'l I know my brother!!!!

Okija_juju: I see a cabinet reshuffling coming very soon... Some Babylonian Commissioners are about to be part of the Jobless Census for 2013.. The New governor should tighten the states finances as mass looting is going on now even as we speak.. They will loot and blame it on Yekowa..

They can't loot the treasury, he knows the game. He was once the Commissioner for Finance. He was a nice guy when he was the Commissioner under Arc. Namadi Sambo and i believe that he is still nice. It is certain that the cabinet must be reshuffled as quick as possible if he wants to be in charge of the State.

Sounds like a petty and vindictive man.

How much attention were they supposed to pay to a powerless, toothless deputy governor?

Hehehe ... Those commissioners that played HANKY PANKY with him go hia MWEEEEEEEEEEEEE

That is how time and things changes without our input only God knows.

When the music changes, dancing steps change as well( ebughalia egwu, ebughalia onodu)

This governor is not serious at all. If he had been active enough wot would have brot bout blackmail as he claims. So now is the time for retribution. Make dem check dat guy he mite have contributed to the death of yekowa. This country sef na wa. Go go help us.

You are suppose to tell us this when he was still alive. Your type are one of the problems of Nigeria

Some commissioners better start seeking for job elsewhere before the delete button is punched. They know themselves.

why are all these northern leaders always like doing things like MY PEOPLE; if u re not 4rm my ward nothing 4 u whyyyyyy

UR excellency the first man to Sack is our useless SSG Sama'ila yakawada follow by dat bunch of criminals call themselves commissioners

hajbash: u are a lier,I will only agree with u when u said yakowa is very simple,tolerant and patience governor but the best governor now in northern nigeria is kwankwaso! Go kano and see transformation. I don't know wether u know kaduna much yet we don't have tab water,we only depend on borhole

That is not completely true. We have Pipe borne water in Narayi, Narayi High Cost and i am sure they have in Barnawa too.

NAIJA

this is a very unfortunate statement at a time when the state is mourning the loss of a great leader, why should the Gov use this avenue to vent wateva frustration he had with the commissioners during yakowa, its obvious this Yero cant make a good leader.

If this is true,Yero is stupid
