Wife of Katsina State governor, Hajiya Fatima Ibrahim
Shema, has ordered the sack of the supervisory
councillor for water and sanitation in Matazu local
government area of the state, Hajiya
Hadiza Ibrahim.
Mrs Shema reportedly gave the directive to sack
Hajiya Hadiza Ibrahim, the only female councillor at
the Matazu local government transition management
committee through a letter of “termination of
appointment” dated 27th December, 2012. Part of the
letter which was signed by Bala Lawal Yaro, a staff
officer at Matazu local government reads

“I am directed by the Office of Her Excellency, Hajiya Dr Fatima Ibrahim Shehu Shema, to issue you this letter of termination in view of your unkindly like misconduct and behaviour.”

LEADERSHIP reports that the sacked councillor and
the wife of Matazu local government council transition management committee chairman had
recently engaged each other in a free-for-all scuffle at the council secretariat.

It was gathered that squabble ensued between the
duo when the chairman’s wife allegedly slapped the
sacked councillor at the office of the LG’s director of
administration during a meeting to resolve some
grievances.
Some local government staff in the state who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity
faulted the councilor’s sack insisting that there was
procedural error since the directive emanated from
the first lady. When contacted, the chief press secretary to the first lady, Mallam Abdulazeez confirmed that the directive to sack the councillor emanated from the first lady
noting “yes the letter emanated from the first lady’s office.”
