The Executive Director of Citizens for Development and Education (CDE) Mr Ibrahim Waiya, has reacted to media reports of his purported suspension from Kano State Civil Society Forum KCSF.
In a press statement by his Media Aid, Bashir Bashir in Kano said, the boss’s attention was drawn to some reports in the social media of the suspension by the KCSF Board of Trustee BOT under the leadership of Professor Mohammad Tabi’u.
He rejected the suspension by the Kano Civil Society Forum (KCSF) Board of Trustees, adding that, “the board has no powers to suspend or dismiss any bonafide member of the KCSF.”
Waiya described such moves as unfortunate claiming that, the board had yet to read and comprehend the KCSF constitution to know its powers, limitations and privileges.
He claimed that the board had no powers to suspend any registered member, except on the recommendation of the Executive Council after a thorough investigation of an offence committed by the member.
“The person of Ibrahim Waiya is law-abiding and peaceful, as he fights for justice and treats issues with utmost decorum and fairness. Therefore, we wish to let the world know that, the purported letter of suspension of Ibrahim Waiya, holds no water, as the evilly conceived action shall be challenged in the court of law.
“We must also note that Kano’s development, the North and Nigeria are the primary priorities of Ibrahim Waiya, and not his reputation,” Waiya said in the statement.
Waiya called on “all patriotic members of the Kano Civil Society Forum, associates, partners, friends and colleagues, from and across the country to remain calm, and to disregard all forms of calculated and negative insinuations, misleading propaganda, as well as a campaign of calumny, against the person of Ibrahim Waiya.”
