Gov Tambuwal reappoints ex-chief of staff, nominates 9 commissioners
Sokoto State Gov. Aminu Tambuwal, has reinstated his former Chief of Staff, Alhaji Mukhtar Maigori and nominated nine Commissioners to the State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation.
This is contained in a statement issued on Tuesday in Sokoto by Muhammad Bello, the Special Adviser Media and Publicity to the Governor.
According to Bello, six of the nominated commissioners are reappointed to fill the vacancies which occurred after the voluntary disengagement by the Chief of Staff and other members of the cabinet in April 27, to seek political offices in the state.
Some of the reappointed commissioners are those who voluntarily withdrew from the Senatorial race of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in their various constituencies.
Others are those who replaced the erstwhile commissioners who clinched the tickets to contest for the Senatorial seats.
Bello listed the reappointed commissioners as: Aminu Bodinga, retired Col. Garba Moyi, Bashir Gidado, Salihu Maidaji, Abdullahi Maigwandu and Abubakar Maikudi.
“Also nominated were Abdullahi Hausawa, the state PDP Public Relations Officer (PRO), Abubakar Dange and Bashir Lambara, as new appointees, to fill the existing vacancies,” he said
