Barau I. Jibrin Dismisses Aide Over Disrespectful Posts
Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has removed his Special Legislative Aide, Umar Alhassan, from his position due to social media posts deemed disrespectful towards Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
The announcement was made by Barau’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shitu Madaki Kunchi, on September 19, 2026. Alhassan, known as King Indara, a TikTok personality from Kano, had posted on Facebook, including the slogan “Abba Must Go.” Kunchi stated that these posts exhibited indiscipline and disrespect towards the governor, which contradicts the values of discipline, respect, and decorum expected from political appointees.
The removal, effective September 18, 2026, was taken to uphold the standards required of officials in the Deputy President of the Senate's office.
