A prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State, Musbahu Jamilu Dantaura has expressed concerns about the competency of Governor Mal. Umar A Namadi’s political appointees.
Speaking on a popular Hausa radio program, Dantaura stated that 70% of the appointees are incompetent and may jeopardize the party’s chances in the 2027 elections.
He argued that many appointees lack the necessary experience and skills to effectively contribute to the state’s governance.
Dantaura emphasized the need for Gov. Namadi reassesses his appointments and consider individuals with a deeper understanding of the state’s political landscape and a commitment to the welfare of its citizens.
The criticism comes amid growing discontent among APC supporters, who feel neglected by some commissioners and appointees. Some have described the appointments as “preposterous,” while others have praised the contributions of a few commissioners and special advisers who have worked with previous administrations.
Gov. Namadi has defended his appointments as promoting inclusiveness in governance, but Dantaura and other stakeholders believe that competency and experience should be prioritized to ensure effective governance and maintain the party’s credibility.”
