Deputy President of the Senate Senator Barau I. Jibrin has relieved one of his aides, Umar Alhassan, popularly known as King Indara, of his appointment following a controversial social media post targeting Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. In a statement issued on Friday by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shitu Madaki Kunchi, Senator Barau said the dismissal followed Indara's indiscipline and disrespect after he authored posts bearing the phrase 'Abba Must Go.' The Deputy Senate President said the action was contrary to the values of respect and decorum upheld by his office and inconsistent with the principles of the ruling All Progressives Congress. The statement announced his removal from the position of Special Legislative Assistant in the office of the Deputy Senate President as of September 18, 2026.
