Ex-Buhari’s aide asked LG autonomy from Gov Yusuf
But in his reaction in a tweet to the governor’s comment, Ahmad described the governor’s comment as clueless, adding that one major move the governor could make was to grant autonomy to the 44 local governments in the state for positive change.
The tweet reads in part:
“Gov. Abba’s approach is clueless, and it can only give the impression that the root of these problems lies solely at the national level when as the governor, he holds significant power to effect change within our state.
“A good starting point would be granting complete autonomy to our 44 Local Government Areas, which could lead to positive changes and significant improvements across the state.”

In another tweet, the former presidential aide called on the governor to emulate his counterpart in Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who is currently in China for the Redline and Blue Line rail project in the state.
He said:
“Gov. Sanwo-Olu has been in China for days negotiating and closing great deals for Lagos while our Kano Governor is talking about going to Abuja to look for intervention.”
