The special adviser reportedly posted homosexual pornography on his WhatsApp status on Sunday.
Although The PUNCH could not independently confirm the incident, a statement issued by the governor’s office on Monday seemed to confirm the incident.
In the statement, the governor’s spokesman, Ahmed Idris, quoted the governor as saying that Sakir’s WhatsApp post “trampled on the moral and social ethos of Kebbi society”.
The statement read, “The Executive Governor of Kebbi State, Dr Nasiru Idris, Kauran Gwandu, has relieved his Special Adviser on Youths, of his appointment.
“The sacking of the S.A. was a sequel to an indecent posting he made on his WhatsApp status.
“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.
“The Kauran Gwandu vowed that his administration would not condone any of such acts that denigrate the morality and integrity of the people of the state.
“The governor also cautioned other public officers against making such heinous postings in their social media handles and other public fora”.
