Abba Kabir Yusuf who cleared the air for the first time since the ailing top-ranking official was flown to Saudi Arabia for advanced medical attention, explained that the decision to appoint an acting SSG was because of the sensitive nature of the position.
He said, “Because we have appointed the State Head of Service as acting SSG, does not mean we sacked Bichi, we cannot allow the position to be vacant because of its sensitive nature “.
Yusuf said “I personally overheard some persons speaking with full authority on the local Radio Programs that we exchanged deadly blows between myself and the SSG”.
He revealed that “You, know some people who are jobless and see politics as their sources of living always try to create rumours to create unnecessary tension, but this time they have failed woefully”.
