Barau Jibrin Fires Aide Over Controversial Posts in 2026
On September 18, 2026, Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, announced the dismissal of his aide, Umar Alhassan, known as King Indara, due to controversial social media posts targeting Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. The statement, issued by Barau's Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shitu Madaki Kunchi, cited Indara's "indiscipline and disrespect" as reasons for his removal from the position of Special Legislative Assistant (SLA).
The posts included the phrase “Abba Must Go,” which Barau deemed inconsistent with the principles of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the decorum expected in his office. Barau, who represents Kano North in the Senate, reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC and expressed hopes for the party's success.
Indara, a popular TikToker from Kano, had previously stated on Facebook that Kano is for Kwankwaso while asserting his membership in the APC.
