Buni warns Caretaker Chairmen against abuse of office, confirms date for Yobe LG polls

Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni has warned 17 local government Caretaker Management Committees
against abuse of office and disloyalty.

Buni handed down the warning shortly after he sworn-in the Caretaker Management Committees, stressing that the state government under his leadership would not tolerate ineptitude.

He also tasked them to be upright and accountable for all their actions, and willing to serve selflessly.

“We will not hesitate to set an example on anyone found wanting. You are therefore warned,” he said.

Buni, however, reassured the Caretaker Management Committees of the government’s readiness to partner with the local government councils on programmes and projects that have direct bearing on the lives of the people.

“We must collectively strive to make local government councils in the state vibrant”, he said.

On local government elections, the Governor reiterated the commitment of his administration to conduct the election in November this year, noting that the move is to further take democracy much closer to the people at the grassroot.

“We will ensure that a credible, fair and generally acceptable election is conducted in the state”, he assured.
