Bauchi: Sacked LG chairmen battle Gov Mohammed over ‘illegal’ disengagement
The Governor, who reacted through his Spokesperson, Ladan Salihu, stated that, “I acted in line with established protocols of State Administration. I have the prerogative to dissolve the Caretaker Councils and Chairmen. They were appointed by a Governor, another Governor has exited them. Where the rights of one Governor ended, the rights of another begin.”
While speaking to journalists on Tuesday on behalf of others, the former caretaker chairman of Bauchi Local Government, Alhaji Chindo Abdu, claimed that they were appointed by the former governor; Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar to serve for a period of nine months each that would elapse in September this year.
According to him, after reading the governor’s press statement on the disengagement of political office holders, they wrote a letter to him through the office of the Secretary to the State Government enlightening him that ‘by law’, their tenure would elapse in September, 2019 but he still allegedly withheld their salaries and allowances.
