Abubakar submits 15 commissioner -nominees to assembly

Barely eight months after taking over the mantle of lead­ership, Governor Moham­med Abubakar of Bauchi state has finally submitted 15 cabinet nominees to the state assembly for screen­ing.

The 15 nominees were picked from the 20 Local Government Areas that make up the state.

This was just as there have been protests in some LGAs especially Tafawa-Balewa where stakeholders had kicked against the nominee from the area saying they were not consulted before he was picked by the gover­nor.


The list of nominees was contained in a letter addressed to the speaker, Bauchi state House of As­sembly dated 5th January, 2016 signed by the secretary to the state government Bel­lo Shehu Ilelah , a copy of which was made available to National Mirror.

The letter read: I am directed to forward here­with the list of fifteen nominees for screening and confirmation as com­missioners in Bauchi state government

Abubakar had further requested the members of the House to go through the list of the nominees for confirmation as com­missioners.

Those nominated are Nasirudeen Muhammed, Tafawa-Balewa LGA, Ali Abubakar Tatari Zaki, Ibrahim Yakubu Umar Toro LGA.

Others are Garba Sarki Mohammed Akuyam Mis­au, Asabe Mohammed, Hamma Alkalri, Dr. Audu Gani Bogoro, Bogoro LGA among others.

The governor solicits the house usual coopera­tion and wish members best regards in their legis­lative obligations

In the same vein, there have been protests and criticism since the unveil­ing of the nominees by the governor as stakeholders in some LGAs had alleg­edly lambasted Abubakar for not consulting with them appropriately as agreed during the cam­paign period.

Senator Ali Wakili told journalists that the gover­nor has the constitutional right to appoint a com­missioner, but said the governor had promised to consult stakeholders in Tafawa-Balewa LGA before picking a nominee from the area, a promise he said he failed to fulfill
