A source who doesn’t want his name on print, said Governor Masari’s action may not be unconnected with the just concluded presidential election where the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu was defeated.

“There is no doubt that government reviewed and is still reviewing roles of various persons that culminated in the party’s defeat in the state”, according to the source.
