The Kano Commissioner for Works and Infrastructural Development, Engr. Muazu Magaji, who was sacked by Governor Umar Ganduje for rejoicing over Abba Kyari’s death has tested positive for Covid-19.
Engr. Magaji while reacting to Kyari’s death said Nigeria was now free.
The commissioner had stated that Kyari had so much power that he decided the fate of Nigerians.
Governor Ganduje in a statement rebuked the former commissioner for his utterances saying, as a public servant, the commissioner ought to have respect for the office by refraining from any act capable of rendering it to disrepute.
Meanwhile, Engr. Magaji in his response stated that he was misunderstood and never intended to celebrate the death of the late Chief of Staff to the President.
He explained that he cannot celebrate the death of anyone and all he did was to mourn the late Abba Kyari who he also described as a martyr.
However, on Thursday, Magaji revealed that his test result for coronavirus came back positive.
He urged Nigerians to pray for him.
Magaji wrote, “This morning my NCDC test result is out. I have been confirmed positive.
“I have been moved to one of the state’s isolation centers. Pray for us.”
