But operatives of the Department of State Service, DSS in Kano state denied his arrest.<\/p>\n

Yakasai, who is yet to be seen in public, was also sacked over his continued comments regarded as contrast to the stand of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, which he is serving.<\/p>\n

Fayose, reacting stated that Yakasai\u2019s act has made him the latest hero of democracy and portrayed hope for one Nigeria.<\/p>\n

According to him, his sack is the beginning of his rise politically.<\/p>\n

Fayose stressed that there is nothing more honourable than standing tall amidst darkness and selfishness of leadership.<\/p>\n

The former Governor on his Twitter page wrote: \u201cI commend the courage of Salihu Yakasai, the sacked Gov Ganduje\u2019s Aide for being able to speak truth to power.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis singular action of his has made him the latest hero of our democracy, and in turn confirmed that there is hope for a united Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201c Nothing can be more honourable than what he has done by standing tall amidst darkness and selfishness of leadership.His sack is the beginning of his rise politically.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sincerely congratulate him and indeed the ordinary Nigerians seeking good governance and leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
