Alhaji El-Sa’eed Yakubu Lere has resigned as KSMC Board Chairman, just 3 months after appointment, citing issues with Managing Director Hon. Ben Kure.
Sources suggest conflicts over appointments and promotions, with some blaming Governor Uba Sani for not involving the Board Chairman in decisions.
There’s been a stir in Governor Uba Sani’s administration, with Alhaji El-Sa’eed Yakubu Lere, the Board Chairman of Kaduna State Media Corporation (KSMC), resigning just months after his appointment. This follows the resignation of Dr. Sani Bello, the former Commissioner of Information, who stepped down and was replaced by Alhaji Ahmed Maiyaki, the former Managing Director of KSMC.
Sources suggest that Yakubu Lere’s resignation might be linked to conflicts with Hon. Ben Kure, the Managing Director of KSMC, and that more appointees might resign soon. It’s worth noting that Yakubu Lere is a close associate and long-time friend of Governor Uba Sani..
Governor Uba Sani’s administration is now facing a wave of resignations, sparking concerns about the APC’s prospects in the 2027 general elections. Key figures, including Professor Muhammad Sani Bello, have left the administration, citing feelings of marginalization and disagreements with the governor’s approach.
The exit of Bello, a crucial architect of Sani’s 2023 electoral victory, has raised questions about internal cohesion within the party.
The rift between Governor Sani and his senior council, particularly the powerful Special Adviser, Alhaji Yusuf Hamisu (Mairago), is reportedly contributing to the turmoil. Some appointees are allegedly maintaining ties with former Governor Nasiru El-Rufai, fueling speculation about divided loyalties.
Despite these challenges, the APC has secured significant by-election victories, suggesting grassroots support for Governor Sani remains strong. The party’s ability to mobilize local structures and maintain voter loyalty could mitigate the impact of elite defections.
More details will be publish about the potential reasons behind these resignations or the impact on Governor Uba Sani’s administration?
