Salihu Tanko Yakassai, popularly known as Dawisu, the immediate past Special Adviser on Media to Kano Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, has relocated overseas.
Kano state governor, Ganduje relieved Dawisu of his appointment over continued unguarded comments and utterances deemed contrary to the stand of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government which he was serving.
Dawisu is the son of Tanko Yakassai, a founding member of Arewa consultative forum.
Yakasai was earlier suspended by Ganduje after his remark on Buhari during the #EndSARS protest but was reinstated weeks after.
In February, the ex-aide called on President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to either deal with bandits or resign.
Yakasai was picked up by Department of State Services (DSS) shortly after his criticism. However, the DSS said he was picked due to “issues beyond the expression of opinions on social media”.
In a tweet on Wednesday, Yakasai, popularly known as Dawisu, said “goodbye” to Nigeria.
While he did not indicate where he was heading to, he shared images of himself at the airport about flying out with Qatar Airways.
“Japa….. Goodbye Naija! Alhamdulilah!” he tweeted.
His post has caused a social media uproar, in which some supported his decision to leave while others called him a coward for leaving.

Lmaooo! Aiki!
Whether it’s a short vacation, temporary, or permanent japa, the message here is that Dawisu can pick a passport and leave when push comes to shove.
You that you’re joining them to defend incompetence, when the incompetence comes for you, do you have an exit plan? https://t.co/ViLvYPWC0w
