Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, has relieved six of his staff of their appointments.

Our correspondent gathered that those sacked were political appointees who refused to join the governor in APC and in fact participated in the Nyesom Wike faction sponsored state Congress of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday.

Indeed some of them are members of Wike-led BOT of the party.

The appointees include Timothy Golu, Special  Adviser on Strategic Communication; Gwottson Fom, Liaison Officer, Jos South; Nannim J. Langyi, Liaison Officer, Langtang North; Paul N. Datugum, Liaison Officer, Qua’an Pan North; and . Nimchak Rims, Liaison Officer Langtang South.

In a statement signed by the Secretary to the Government of the State, Samyel N. Jatau, said that the decision was part of ongoing effort to
government for greater efficiency, improved
service delivery, and alignment with the administration’s strategic priorities.

Similarly, the governor  also approved the
suspension  Johnbull Shekarau as Chairman, House of Assembly Service Commission, for conduct inconsistent with the administrative procedures expected of the Chairman of the Commission, which
are currently under review by the Government.

The statement, which gave effective as immediate,  directed the appointees  to hand over all official documents and property in their possession to the appropriate offices.

While appreciating them for their contributions and services rendered, the government wished them success in their future endeavours.
