Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State
By Akanji Alowolodu, Bauchi
Members of the State Executive Council (SEC), have been sacked by Bauchi State Governor, Sen Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir as well as other political aides.
The dissolution of the cabinet was contained in a statement from the office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Mukhtar Gidado who signed it and made copies available to Journalists early Wednesday morning.
According to the statement, “His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Bauchi State Sen. Bala A.Mohammed CON (Kauran Bauchi) has approved with immediate effect the dissolution of members of the State Executive Council and other political appointees”.
The statement further contained that, “that include, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), the Chief of Staff (COS) Government House and all Special Advisers, except the following:Special Adviser Security; Special Adviser National and State Assembly Liaison; Special Adviser Social Investment and Special Adviser Media and Publicity”.
The statement directed All Commissioners to handover the affairs of their Ministries to their respective Permanent Secretaries, while the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), the Chief of Staff (COS) Government House and other affected Special Advisers are to handover to the most senior Permanent Secretary in the Government House who is equally directed to take inventory of government property”.
Bala Mohammed while thanking the affected political appointees for their meritorious service to the State, wished them the very best in their future endeavours.
To many political onlookers, the development did not come as a surprise considering the fact that most of the sacked appointees have not added any value to act of governance in the last two years when they were appointed.
