Senator Barau Fires Aide Over Controversial Social Media Post
Senator Barau, representing Kano North and serving as the Deputy Senate President, announced the dismissal of his Special Legislative Assistant, Indara, due to “indiscipline and disrespect.” This decision was prompted by Indara's social media posts that included the phrase “Abba Must Go,” which Barau stated was contrary to the values of respect and decorum upheld by his office. The statement, issued by Barau's Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shitu Madaki Kunchi, confirmed that Indara was removed from his position as of September 18, 2026.
Barau reaffirmed his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and expressed hopes for the party's success. Despite his dismissal, Indara, who is also a popular TikToker in Kano, stated on his Facebook page that he remains a member of the APC and expressed support for Kwankwaso.
