However, our correspondent gathered that the decision may be connected with the governor’s concerns regarding the performances of some members of his cabinet.
AbnTV reports that Governor Yahaya Bello last Saturday gave some members of his cabinet, including the local government chairman, a dress-down and questioned their loyalty.
According to him, despite being mobilised to provide transportation and other logistics for the electorates during the election, “you have all failed to deliver while the mobilisation funds ended in private pockets.”
The governor went ahead to issue a questionnaire to all 21 local government chairmen, which they were asked to submit last Tuesday.
