EXCLUSIVE: Kano Govt. Recalls Two Journalists Among 14 Expelled from Government House
Kano State Government has recalled two of the 14 journalists whose accreditation to cover the Government House was previously withdrawn.
Nigerian Tracker reports that the recalled journalists are Nasiru Mustapha Danhaki, a cameraman with NTA, and Simon Enokela, a cameraman with AIT.
It was gathered that the recall is linked to the response of their respective television stations, NTA and AIT, which refused to replace the expelled journalists without an explanation.
The media organizations reportedly insisted they would not reassign new personnel to the Government House unless they were informed of the specific reasons for the journalists’ removal and given evidence of any alleged misconduct.

They emphasized that if any issues arose regarding their employees’ behavior, they had internal mechanisms for handling disciplinary matters rather than relying solely on government decisions.
The Director General of Media, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa confirmed that Danhaki and Simon would be resuming their duties at the Government House during a meeting with press crew members.
The recall of the two journalists highlights the government’s limited options in this standoff, as NTA and AIT stood firm in their refusal to assign replacements without a clear explanation for the original expulsions.
With both media organizations unwilling to comply without transparency or evidence of misconduct, the government was left with no choice but to reinstate Danhaki and Simon to avoid further disruption in media coverage.
This development suggests the possibility of continued tension unless a resolution is reached that addresses the media’s demand for accountability.
On October 22, this paper reported that the Kano state government withdrew the accreditation of 14 journalists covering the government house, effective immediately.

Political Parties Are Part of Nigeria’s Problems —Oby Ezekwesili
Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has stated that the problem of Nigeria is political parties.
Her outburst comes following the incessant defection from other parties to the All Progressive Congress, APC.
Ezekwesili emphasized that Nigeria has a faulty foundation and defecting from one political party to another which she described as ‘acronymn’ won’t solve the problem.
Her words,”Can I tell you that political parties has been part of the problems of our elite failures because we really havent had political parties in Nigeria.
We have political platforms, God bless the spirit of someone who used exactly that name for me. They are platforms where individual interest are negotiated.
“We are yet to control the ideology of having real political parties driven by the sense of nation building.
“And then if I ask you again and you say your common identity is APC, I can well tell what will happen because what would happen is that a new set of operators wants to control.
“We have a faulty foundation. When you have a structural problem, you have to find structural solutions.
“Just merely changing acronyms and doing the migratory dance that happens between one set of acronyms and another set of acronyms does not solve the problem of the 50 something years of failure since our independence.”
