The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje, has disclosed that the social media outrage against Maryam Shetty’s appointment led to her removal.

President Bola Tinubu had removed Shetty from Kano State as a ministerial nominee that was billed for screening.

In a letter to the Senate which was read by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio on Friday, the President replaced her with Mariya Mahmoud Mairiga Bunkure, a former Commissioner for Higher Education during the governorship tenure of Ganduje in Kano.

However, the former governor in an interview with select radio stations in Kano on Saturday, and as reported by Daily Trust, said Shetty was dropped because people questioned her suitability.
