Chatting with BBC Hausa Service on Saturday, Gwarzo claimed his elimination was politically motivated, questioning President Tinubu’s option to appoint Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Atta as his alternative.
He recommended that Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, the APC’s 2023 gubernatorial candidate in Kano State, would have been a extra appropriate candidate than Atta. Gwarzo additionally disclosed features of a non-public dialog with the President about his dismissal.
In response, RHAF condemned Gwarzo’s feedback, characterizing them as disrespectful to each President Tinubu and the presidency, and argued that his statements demonstrated he was unsuitable for the ministerial position.
The discussion board’s Kano State Coordinator, Comrade Danjuma Usman Gwale, expressed disappointment that Gwarzo appeared to query Part 171 of the 1999 Structure, which grants the President the authority to nominate and dismiss ministers.
“We seen the BBC interview of the sacked Minister of Housing and City Improvement, Abdullahi T. Gwarzo, as an insult and an assault on President Tinubu, who has the constitutional powers to nominate and dismiss ministers.”
“For somebody who has served as a minister to reveal non-public conversations with the President publicly is just not solely unlucky and ridiculous but additionally unbecoming of his standing. It signifies that he can’t be trusted. This behaviour is an insult to each the President and the presidency. He ought to perceive the implications of sharing confidential discussions with the media, significantly these involving the President. Within the first place, he might not even be certified to be a minister,” they mentioned.
RHAF described Gwarzo’s interview as a calculated try to undermine the President, warning him to stop additional assaults or face penalties.
“No dropped minister within the historical past of this nation has ever ignorantly behaved like Gwarzo. The same old apply for individuals who are educated within the apply of democracy is to thank the President for giving them the chance to serve after which transfer on with their lives, similar to the remainder of the ministers lately dropped by President Tinubu did. However Gwarzo feels that his appointment as a minister was at his behest and never on the president’s behest as enshrined in our structure. We imagine that Gwarzo wants somebody to lecture him appropriately on this regard.”
“His utterances are able to undermining the President. Why is he now recommending Gawuna relatively than doing so when he was nominated as a minister in 2023? He ought to have declined his nomination if he believed Gawuna was the best selection. We don’t know who advised him that defeated APC gubernatorial candidates should be appointed ministers. His stage of hypocrisy is unacceptable, and we won’t tolerate it,” they acknowledged.
