The Kano State deputy governor, Hafiz Abubakar, has petitioned the police and the Department of State Services, DSS, over threat to his life and plans to impeach him.
Mr. Abubakar, a loyalist of former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, had been at loggerheads with the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, for siding with Mr Kwankwaso in the political impasse in the state.
In a petition dated 30th July, 2018 and addressed to Kano State police commissioner and copied to the Assistant Inspector General in charge of Zone I, and the state director of the DSS, Mr. Hafiz Abubakar sought deployment of security personnel around him.
In the petition, the deputy governor said the state government had released funds to mobilise youths from the 44 local government areas of the state to protest against his stay in office.
It reads: “My attention has been drawn to orchestrated plots to frame me up on non-existing allegations to pave way for my impeachment from office by the State House of Assembly.
“Secondly, the state government was also alleged to have made funds available to the 44 Local Government Councils to raise groups and organize a protest in the State Capital to call for either my resignation or impeachment from office.
