Governor of Borno State, Babagana Umara Zulum, has
approved the immediate dissolution of the State Executive Council.
The directive was announced in a statement issued on
Monday by the Secretary to the State Government, Bukar Tijani.
Although no specific reason was officially stated, the
decision is believed to be connected to preparations ahead of the 2027 general
elections, particularly to allow political appointees pursue elective
positions.
According to the statement, all commissioners have
been instructed to hand over their responsibilities to Permanent Secretaries in
their respective ministries on or before April 3, 2026.
Governor Zulum expressed appreciation to the outgoing
council members for their service, dedication, and contributions to the
development of the state.
The move places Zulum among several governors who have
recently directed political appointees to step aside, including Monday
Okpebholo of Edo State, Bassey Otu of Cross River State, Sheriff Oborevwori of
Delta State, Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, and Abba Yusuf of Kano State.
