Borno state governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima,
yesterday shocked his political aides when he
announced the total dissolution of his cabinet for
the first since since assuming office in 2011. This came at a time some of Shettima’s political
appointees were tendering their resignations
amidst the simmering political controversy between
himself and his former godfather, Senator Ali Modu
Sheriff. Sheriff and Shettima had recently clash over who
calls the shot in the ruling All Progressive Congress
(APC) in Borno state. According to sources close to the Government
House Maiduguri, the sack of the cabinet members,
especially the Commissioners was “a welcomed
development which was long over due”. The news about the sack had triggered jubilation in
Maiduguri as many politicians believe the governor
was working with a team that are more of a liability
to him than asset. “We believe the next cabinet would be constituted
in such a manner that it would right the governor’s
act towards a successful 2015 re-election”, said an
APC chieftain who spoke off the record. According to the statement issued and signed by
the Secretary to the state government, Ambassador
Baba Ahmed Jidda, the governor had approved the
immediate dissolution with effect from Friday 8th
August. The statement reads “The executive Governor of
Borno State, Hon. Kashim Shettima, has approved
the immediate dissolution of the state executive
council comprising all commissioners.

I beg to differ.

Janjaweedism in Action.

He shouldn't stop at dissolving his cabinet, he might as well dissolve his marriage, still on his way out nevertheless.
