In a decisive political housecleaning, the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has relieved his Special Assistant, Rashida Adamu—popularly known as Rashida Mai Sa’a—of her appointment with immediate effect.
The termination follows an internal investigation into allegations of anti-party activities and conduct capable of undermining the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State. According to official statements from the senator’s office, the former aide was found to have made public statements and engaged in actions that could incite political supporters and weaken the party’s ranks. Officials emphasized that political appointments are built on trust, institutional alignment, and unalloyed loyalty, making any public defiance or anti-party posture unacceptable.
This latest dismissal marks the second high-profile disengagement from Senator Barau’s political team in recent weeks, sending a stern signal across his political network. Political strategists note that as political maneuvering intensifies in Kano State and across the South-West and Northern political corridors, leaders are tightening discipline to ensure total party loyalty ahead of coming election cycles.
The immediate sacking serves as a firm reminder to political appointees that public office demands strict adherence to party values and organizational harmony.
