Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has suspended the Machina local government area chairman, Mr. Idrisa Bukar Machina, over misconduct and insubordination.
This was contained in a press statement signed and made available to newsmen by the Press Secretary to the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Shuaibu Abdullahi, on Wednesday in Damaturu.
The statement said, “By the exercise of the powers conferred on the Governor by Section 2 of the Local Government Law (as amended) 2019, he approves the suspension of Mr. Abdullahi.”
He stated that the suspension is with immediate effect due to acts of misconduct and insubordination to authority.
The governor, therefore, directed the suspended council chairman to hand over the affairs of the council to the vice chairman.
“This is pending further directives from the governor’s office for disciplinary action,” he said.
