<p dir="ltr">After a decade of tireless service, Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado brought to a close his remarkable tenure as a champion of anti-corruption. This milestone marks not only the end of an era but also a celebration of unwavering dedication to a cause that often goes unappreciated.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As the saying goes, sometimes it is good to blow your trumpet as loud as you wish or can. In reality, trumpets are best blown by those who observe and appreciate the person being celebrated, for the latter is a times unaware of the impact of their actions, contributions and the ripple effect it has on those around them.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So, what do we really know about this anti-corruption crusader? Apart from the fact that he has been the Chairman of the Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) for 10 years, what do we really know about the complex and often treacherous landscape of his fight against corruption and public service.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Ten years ago, at the age of 39, Muhuyi was appointed chairman of the commission, which had been operational for a decade but was surprisingly known to only a few. I say surprisingly because as a public complaint office that had been there for that long, it should have been one of the most well-known government agencies in the state. But it wasn’t, not until he came around and elevated the commission to its present glory.</p>

<p dir="ltr">His leadership has been characterized by a steadfast commitment to transparency, accountability, and justice, even in the face of adversity. As one of his subordinates, Musaddiq Kabir Adam said, “Chairman is the type of leader that leads, a leader that listens and a leader that teaches. He taught me everything I know. Always encouraging us to grow and at the same time, transparent in everything we do in our lives.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is a man who doesn’t have limits when called for duty. What’s more astonishing is his passion to liberate the minorities, including women, children and the less privileged ones from being oppressed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As the saying goes, “When you fight corruption, corruption fights back” Muhuyi is no stranger to this adage and has faced numerous challenges throughout his tenure as a result of his fight against corruption. From resistance and pushbacks, threats and criticism, physical assault and unjust incarceration to narrowly escaping a kidnapping attempt that appeared to be sanctioned by those in authority, he remained resolute in his pursuit of a more just and equitable society.</p>
<p dir="ltr">His efforts have led to significant strides in the fight against corruption, inspiring a new generation of leaders and citizens to have confidence in the institution of Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission and, by extension, the governance system that is bedevilled with synasism.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Muhuyi’s legacy is one of growth, courage and conviction. He has shown that one person can make a difference, even in the face of overwhelming challenges. As he departs, we celebrate his achievements and honour his dedication to a cause that will continue to inspire others.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As he exits this chapter of his life, people of good conscience and character acknowledge the sacrifices he has made in the line of duty. His work has often been thankless, with critics and detractors being times more vocal than supporters. Yet, he has persevered, driven by a deep commitment to the values of integrity and accountability.</p>
<p dir="ltr">His work touches all aspects of public spaces, including fights against land grabbing, unlawful tax impositions, among others, and he remains the only public officer in recent history who fought the wicked culture of hoarding of essential commodities that often caused inflation. This achievement, although seemingly small, was acknowledged by the presidency, urging states to emulate Kano, in turn attracting global attention, being reported by international media networks.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now that this noble person has made a glorious exit from his role for 10 years as Chief Ombudsman of Kano State and begins a new chapter in his life, we wish him peace, joy, and fulfilment. May his retirement from sub-national assignment be a step to wonderful opportunities.</p>
