Jigawa gov suspends four aides indefinitely

Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, has ordered the indefinite suspension of four of his political aides with immediate effect.

The directive was contained in a government statement issued on Monday and signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Bala Ibrahim.

The statement was made available to journalists in Dutse through the Public Relations Officer in the SSG’s office, Ismaila Dutse.

“The suspension takes immediate effect,” Ibrahim stated.

The affected aides include Abbas Makama, Senior Special Assistant on Flood Control I; Salisu Muhammad, popularly known as Rosy Auyo, Special Assistant on Entrepreneurship; Ibrahim Yunusa, Special Assistant on Basic Education Monitoring III; and Umar Abdulkadir, also known as Alhaji Bullet Auyo, Special Assistant on Cluster Farming.

However, the statement did not give any reason for their suspension.

The action may be linked to alleged anti-party activities.

The Jigawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, on Monday, suspended a member of the House of Representatives for Hadejia/Auyo/Kafin Hausa Federal Constituency alongside six other party officials over alleged anti-party conduct following the party’s primary election.

However, neither the state government nor the affected aides have officially confirmed any link between the suspension and party politics.
