Governor Nasiru Idris of Kebbi has relieved his Special Adviser on Youths, Babangida Sarki, of his appointment sequel to an inappropriate post he made on his WhatsApp status.

This is contained in a statement by the governor’s chief press secretary, Ahmed Idris, on Monday in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.

“The governor, who was enraged by the obnoxious development, said the aide trampled on the moral and social ethos of the Kebbi society, which is largely Islamic.

“Mr Idris promised that his administration would not condone any of such acts that denigrate the morality and integrity of the people of the state,” the governor’s spokesman said.

He added that the governor had cautioned all public officers in the state against making such indecent postings on their social media handles and other public fora.
