Kebbi Governor’s Aide in Hot Water – Snake Causes Uproar!
The All Progressives Congress (APC) didn’t waste any time. Alhaji Kabir Sani-Giant, who was Special Adviser to Governor Nasir Idris on Power and Politics, has been suspended with immediate effect. This isn’t some minor offense; this is a full-blown reptile-related scandal!
The Snake Incident: What Actually Happened?
According to a statement released by Alhaji Sa’idu Muhammad-Kimba, the Kebbi State Secretary of the APC, the incident went down on February 8, 2025. Sani-Giant allegedly brought a snake to Government House, and started intimidating dignitaries, statesmen, and officials. One has to wonder why he thought it was a good idea!
APC’s Reaction: “Embarrassing and Offensive”
Muhammad-Kimba made it clear that Sani-Giant’s actions were way out of line. The party believes this conduct could seriously embarrass and discredit the APC. They’re taking this seriously, stating that Sani-Giant violated the party’s constitution with his bizarre behavior.
What’s Next for the Snake-Wielding Adviser?
The suspension is just the beginning. The APC is launching a full investigation into the incident. If Sani-Giant is found guilty of misconduct, he could face disciplinary action, potentially leading to expulsion from the party. It looks like this snake stunt might cost him more than just a slap on the wrist!
The Bigger Picture: Politics and Strange Bedfellows (or Bed-Snakes?)
While this story is definitely unusual, it highlights the sometimes unpredictable nature of politics. It also begs the question: what was Sani-Giant trying to achieve? Was it a misguided attempt at a power play? Or just a really, really bad idea gone wrong?
The Social Media Frenzy: Nigerians React
Of course, Nigerians are not keeping quiet and have weighed in on the matter. The online community is full of memes and social media posts about the incident.
Is This Normal?
While most political dismissals are corruption cases, the people have begun to wonder if this is normal and have called for a mental health check on political appointees.
