Special Adviser to Zamfara State Governor on Public Enlightenment Media and Communication Malam Zailani Bappa has described as mischievous the pronouncement by the former State Commissioner for Environment Mukhtar Muhd Lugga that Governor Bello Muhammad Matawalle has appointed the former APGA gubernatorial candidate Alh Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi as Honorary Special Adviser on Petition Matters.
Mr Bappa who raised the alarm through a letter written to the Editor of Thunder Blowers Online News Medium one of the platforms that published the rejoinder written by the former Commissioner Lugga, noted that Mr Shinkafi was appointed by Governor Matawalle as “Honorary Adviser on Inter-governmental Affairs” not “petition matters ” as alleged by Mukhtar Lugga.
“It is improper for me to delve or join in the issues at stake, but I am constrained to write you in observation of a wrong presentation of fact by Alhaji Lugga where he presented the appointment by His Excellency, Governor Bello Mohammed (Matawallen Maradun) of Dr Shinkafi as Honourary Special Adviser on Petition Matters” Mr Bappa added.
It is pertinent to inform the public that His “Excellency appointed Dr Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi as Honourary Special Adviser on Inter-Governmental Affairs and not as a petition writer. It is mischievous for anyone to assume His Excellency Governor Bello Mohammed (Matawallen Maradun) will have a special interest in writing of petitions against any of his citizens as he has a proper channel of authority to bring wrong doers to book according to the provisions of the law”.
He However noted that, all employees of His Excellency are free citizens with constitutional rights to petion against any abuse of public trust of which Dr Shinkafi is not an exception.
