“I woke up this morning and after my morning exercise, devotion and my morning meeting with my staff, I heard the sad and the good news of your removal by the Executive Council of the Kano State Government.

“Please accept, Your Royal Highness, the assurances of my highest consideration,” the terse letter read.
