The immediate past Kano State Commissioner of Works and Infrastructural Development, Engr Muazu Magaji, who was relieved of his appointment following alleged unguarded utterances he made against the person of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari, has finally cleared the air of what he actually meant.

The former commissioner in a statement he issued on Sunday, said he did not celebrate Kyari’s death but people misunderstood what he meant.
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had through the state Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, in a statement said the Commissioner of Works and Infrastructural Development, Engr. Mu’azu Magaji removed from office following his unguarded utterances against the person of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari.
He explained, “I want to sincerely clear up what a lot of people may have misunderstood and set the record straight. As a Muslim and a patriotic Nigerian, I was only misunderstood by people to think that I celebrated Kyari’s death, the truth is I did not.”
The former Commissioner added, “Not only that, I made several posts mourning Kyari’s death on my same Facebook account and through my special assistants, but the general public couldn’t commend such, rather tend to capitalize on a phrase post that was given another set of definition and direction as well as negativity in other to tarnish my reputable image as a member of Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje administration and his loyalist and that of our national party, APC.

“The use of “win win phrase” was basically an attempt to explain the Islamic Promise on the people that died as a result of any kind of pandemic. The late Mallam Abba Kyari was privileged to die as a result of COVID-19, making him among the beneficiaries in Islam. He is conferred with the automatic privilege of martyrdom.

“Our Rasul S. A. W assured on the path of martyrdom in Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Jihad wal-Siyar. Even Sheik Isah Ali Pantami has taken time to explain more of this. By this, the death of Mallam Abba Kyari is a big win for him, which is almost the dream of every Muslim.

“On the other hand, Nigeria equally has the opportunity to restructure the office of the Chief of Staff, where I called Mr. President to ensure that we can utilize the pandemic challenges into more strengths, by disintegrating the power of the office for a rapid administrative flow, which over and above anything, our constitutional democracy is meant to achieve and function so often.”

Engr. Muazu Magaji said, “ln an emotional reaction to my posting, agents around the office of the late Chief of Staff misunderstood my whole meaning, infuriated from the loss of their benefactor, as such petitioned my principal, His Excellency Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the Governor of Kano State, they twisted the narrative with explanation completely out of context and lacing it with religious and cultural connotations that made it necessary for our Principal the Executive Governor to show leadership and solidarity with the dead by relieving me off my position in Kano State as his Commissioner of Works and Infrastructural.”

The former Commissioner said he is confident that the Governor must make such a difficult decision as a conditional sacrifice to appease the aggrieved individuals who were bereaved, especially from their loss. “I understand the difficulty of the circumstances, both from misunderstanding my post, to the Governor’s decision and in general the pains of people in Abuja. l understand perfectly well.

“Wholeheartedly, I want to use this opportunity to reiterate that as a devout Muslim, I could not have celebrated the death of any human being; because it’s against my culture, social civilization and most importantly the teaching of my religion.

“I equally want to appeal to all people, especially those in Kano to give people the benefit of doubts by accepting their explanation on what they actually and truly mean by themselves,” he explained.

He apologised for any misunderstood action, reaction and inactions, adding, “We are all in a difficult time that anxiety, worries and depression make understanding and misunderstanding very difficult. I am so sorry for any pain I might have caused both the families of the late chief of staff and my boss, His Excellency Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. I am forever loyal to my boss; the Governor of Kano State and indebted to all the people of Kano state.

“I want to plentifully remain grateful to His Excellency for the opportunity he gave me to serve my state under his administration and am pleased to leave not on account of fraud, insubordination, dishonesty, treachery, disloyalty, betrayal, act of incompetence or undermining the government or the people of Kano; but due to this unfortunate misunderstanding and miscommunication of my Facebook post. I assure you that everyone will calmly understand my meaning by revisiting everything I’ve said. I am only human; perfection is never part of our creation.

“I pray for Allah to grant the late Chief of Staff eternal rest in AlJannah Firdaus and give his family and associate the fortitude to bear his loss. May Allah continue to help the people and government of Kano State to achieve higher advancements.”

Idiot!

He has seen people with no brains that he can manipulate.

It's life. Lie and get rewarded. Tell the truth and get demoted.

I feel he as been receiving death threats.

Story. Oga former commissioner, take your L in peace and move on. No time for Salaye FC.

It’s called a Royal act of Foolery

Anyone who actually comprehended what this man first wrote knows that there was nothing in it to suggest him celebrating Abba kyari's death. Its that bashir ahmed that fvkced it all up with his misguided interpretation but who ever read the posts will get a different meaning apart from the one being told by bashir ahmed.

Every living soul must surely taste death. And thereafter proceed to the throne of judgement with his/her maker.

The prayers, opinions, comments of men are insignificant at this point.

Life is a Lucid Dream...

2 phrases......................... that raise eyebrow, sacked a commissioner and probably end his political career............


this might be just a damage control: which i doubt bcs average politicians we prefer doing eye services rather than wish dead bad; even if it is his arch rival. so, it is likely to be a misunderstanding;


that is a great few minutes this man would have better of without his phone......................................

to cap it all.............................

Oga 4get all diz Quran quoting n blah blah English....u only xpress d true feelings of every well meaning Nigerian unlike some sentimentally blindfolded Cows
Wait until d next alphabetetical victim "B" is taken, then u will c more celebration

Celebrating in the privacy of his bedroom would have spared him all these long stories and convoluted explanations.

Oga, wipe the egg off your face and move on. You're insulting our intelligence.

Medicine after death!

THEY ARE WATCHING

Magaji will be remembered as a politician that said it as it is...

He said the truth but paid for it

It was greed that killed kyari who went to Germany to sign a power deal that doesn't concern him.. A man who wants to be in charge of every affair of the government..

Pity

wow so there are intelligent northerners #

i said if northern can turn nigeria to dubia northerners can my opinion kept the presidency forever

Rip boss

AK's death is a lesson for this government to learn.
Abba was a good man bla bla, of course only dead people are good in this life.


The first and foremost thing this government has to do is, ensure there's a radiotherapy machine in all of the teaching hospitals across the nation.

For how long do we live without adequate medical facilities in our country?
When is health care ever going to be free in Nigeria like UK, Canada etc,,?

Just like Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, you are intelligent more than an average northerner, that was your crime.

This man actually made glaring facts (TRUTH)
But like usual , Nigerians (both leaders and their slowpoke followers) hate that
God will bless you and don't ever think about the job lost
It was a shame for working for a personality like Ganduje in the fist place
God will help your future endeavor
And RIP to the deads too

Egungun don enter express

So he wants to teach us how to read English differently

Stay on your legs jor, I see you becoming the next governor of the state.

He has said the truth, nothing again...is just because in islam it is illegal to say the truth about the dead

Late Umaru Musa Yaradua was also a politician but a damn honest compatriot... I'm yet to see anyone who didn't wish he stayed longer.. Abba kyari's death is not some sort of comedy hence my not laughing but to feel sad about the death of a greedy loot, a liar and a pioneer of this vision-less and blood sucking apc regime is what I will never do..
Why writing good about him when you know in your heart that he's nowhere close to it?
Let's call a spade, a spade.. Abba Kyari was no compatriot but a damn greedy fellow..

CoronaVirusPro:
Idiot!

He has seen people with no brains that he can manipulate.

Even an illiterate knows the meaning of win-win

Probably he thinks everyone in 9ja don't think

silence is not golden in this case. word is powerful too. silence is only golden when it is needed. You cannot have a mute child and feel proud that he is mute. I wish muteness on everyone who upholds silence when words could have made the needed changes. The man has a right and he must exercise it. Fela said "animal won dash me human right".
Why should a mature man be silent when he has words to say?
You should be criticizing the Oligarchy, not the man for exercising his right. You are a part of the problem. always trying to subdue people and make them conform to your silly rules. Talk for your lives. Your silence has no bargaining power in the malls. Talk and negotiate. Your mouth is not a show room
