Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Wednesday night, approved the reinstatement of his Special Adviser on Media, Salihu Yakasai.

 Yakasai had earlier lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari for not addressing Nigerians during the period of protests against the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police Force.

Yakasai, who tweeted through his handle, @dawisu, had accused the President of having no empathy for Nigerians by his inaction.

Reacting in a statement, the Kano State Government had described Yakasai’s comments as “unguarded utterances” and suspended him “with immediate effect”.

However, in a tweet on Wednesday, the state government, @KanostateNg, tweeted, “H.E Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje OFR has approved the reinstatement of his Special Adviser on Media, Salihu Tanko Yakasai from his suspension.”

Ganduje had in April sacked the state’s Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mu’azu Magaji, for celebrating the death of the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari.
