Kano, Nigeria – Reports are circulating regarding the alleged resignation of Saidu Yahaya, Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC). Sources indicate that Yahaya, appointed in August 2025, has succumbed to pressure from the Kano State Government, which reportedly cited his failure to meet performance expectations.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has publicly criticized Yahaya’s leadership of the anti-graft agency in recent months. Speculation suggests that Yahaya’s background as a federal anti-corruption staff member, rather than a political appointee, may have contributed to the perceived performance issues.
As of the time of this report, neither Mr. Yahaya nor the Kano State Government has officially confirmed the resignation, leaving the situation open to further developments. The public awaits official statements regarding the future leadership of the PCACC.
