Following the stalemated governorship election in Kano State, the
state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has travelled to Abuja to press for
the removal of the state Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Wakili.

Targeted
for the lobby, a source who preferred not to be named said, are
national chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole; national leader of APC Bola
Tinubu and; some influential presidency officials.

DAILY
NIGERIAN observed that the police under Mr Wakili had maintained
neutrality before, during and after the election, which saw the
opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP candidate Abba Yusuf leading
with 1,020,465 votes, against Mr Ganduje of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, who scored 987,459 votes.

Credible sources told
DAILY NIGERIAN that the governor’s entourage includes the Speaker of
Kano House of Assembly, Kabiru Rurum; the state chairman of APC,
Abdullahi Abbas and; the governor’s top political strategist, Nasiru
Aliko-Koki.

Targeted for the lobby, a source who
preferred not to be named said, are national chairman of APC, Adams
Oshiomhole; national leader of APC Bola Tinubu and; some influential
presidency officials.

Recall that the deputy governor of Kano
State, Nasiru Gawuna, alongside the state commissioner for Local
Government, Murtala Sule-Garo and chairman of Nassarawa Local
Government, Lamin Sani, were involved in result sheet snatching at
Airport Road collation centre around 3am on Monday, a situation that led
to a fierce brawl.

Party agents reportedly beat the trio to a
pulp, and police later rescued the deputy governor and arrested the
commissioner and the local government chairman.

On Tuesday, at a press conference to douse tension over the inconclusive governorship election in Kano, Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II commended the Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Wakili, for maintaining peace and order in the state.

Mr Wakili, a fearless cop who wages war against drug abuse and political thuggery in the state, is arguably the most-loved police commissioner ever posted to the state.
