Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi, has approved the
reappointment of Ibrahim Kashim as the secretary to the state government (SSG).
Kashim had recently resigned as the SSG to contest the
Bauchi governorship ticket on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) in line with section 84(12) of the electoral act.
In May, he clinched the PDP governorship ticket unchallenged
after he scored 655 votes.
He, however, withdrew from the race days later.
The former SSG stood in for the incumbent governor, who was
contesting the PDP presidential ticket.
But Mohammed lost the PDP presidential primary after he
finished fifth position with 20 votes, while the eventual winner, former Vice-President
Atiku Abubakar, scored 371 votes.
The Bauchi governor is reportedly making moves to reclaim
the party’s governorship ticket after losing the presidential ticket.
Mukhtar Gidado, media aide to the Bauchi governor, in a
statement on Thursday, said the reappointment of Kashim as SSG is sequel to his
“track record of sincerity, loyalty and wealth of experience”.
“His Excellency, Sen. Bala A. Mohammed CON, Fnipr (Kauran
Bauchi), the Executive Governor of Bauchi State, has approved the reappointment
of Barr. Ibrahim Muhammad Kashim as the Secretary to the Bauchi State
Government,” the statement reads.
“His re-appointment is informed by his track record of
sincerity, loyalty, commitment and wealth of experience in the discharge of
assigned responsibilities.
“Barr. Ibrahim Muhammad Kashim was the immediate past
Secretary to the Bauchi State Government. The appointment takes immediate
effect.”
