The former Special Adviser Media to the Governor of Kano State, Salihu Tanko Yakasai has fled Nigeria to a yet to be identified overseas location.
Yakasai personally posted footages of his movement on his confirmed Instagram and Twitter handles also saying “Japa….. Goodbye Naija! Alhamdulilah!”
The pictures he posted show a Qatar aircraft in the background.
Meaning of ‘Japa’ in Yoruba:
Chuba Ugwu@Chonsyy¡ defines ‘Japa‘ as “a Yoruba word which means running away, bolting, absconding, escaping, getting-out from imminent danger. It is not a jog, a casual trot, or a leisurely gambol. Is a whole Tanko Yakassai’s son “whining” ordinary Nigerians?‘
The former media aid was fired by Governor Ganduje in February after he criticised the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari over the rising insecurity in the country.
He was grilled by the Department of State Security (DSS) for his public indictment of the security agencies in the country.
He is also reported to have mocked the presidency for confusing bandits with with ultimatums and warnings.
According to him, âTo be honest, youâre confusing these bandits/terrorists. Last week in Zamfara you gave them 2 monthsâ notice, today na stern warning, which one should they take seriously Mallam Garba? If Iâm a father with a kid in boarding school in the affected States, Iâll withdraw them kawai.â

Man_like_jagga @jagga_man¡Replying to @dawisuThis is the problem with everyone supporting the government and running it to the ground. They have foreign passport either by birth or they bought it, especially that of âMaltaâ so they donât care what they do with naija before you know it they are on the next flight leaving.
