Salihu Tanko Yakasai, a former media aide to Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has debunked reports that he is being sponsored for the gubernatorial election on the platform of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) by his former boss.
Daily Trust reports that there have been talks in Kano that the governor may be the one behind the ambition of his former media aide, so as to make it easier for the candidate of the governor’s party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), to emerge victorious.

But reacting on Wednesday at the 2023 Dialogue Series organised by the Kano State Correspondents Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Yakasai said the claim was a figment of the imagination of political traducers.
Yakasai is said to have noted that the allegation was perhaps because he never spoke ill of the governor despite being sacked on two occasions for his critical comments against the federal government.
