The Governor of Jigawa State, Umar Namadi, has approved the indefinite suspension of four of his aides, with the decision taking immediate effect.According to a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Bala Ibrahim, and released through the Public Relations Officer in his office, Ismaila Ibrahim, the action was formally communicated to journalists on June 1, 2026.

The suspended officials include Abbas Makama, who served as Senior Special Assistant on Flood Control I; Salisu Muhammad, also known as Rosy Auyo, Special Assistant on Entrepreneurship; Ibrahim Yunusa, Special Assistant on Basic Education Monitoring III; and Umar Abdulkadir, popularly called Alhaji Bullet Auyo, who was Special Assistant on Cluster Farming.The statement confirmed that the suspension is indefinite and takes immediate effect, but it did not provide specific reasons for the decision.

However, there have been growing reports suggesting that the move may be linked to internal political tensions within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), particularly allegations of anti-party activities involving some members in the state.

This development reportedly comes shortly after the APC carried out disciplinary actions in Auyo Local Government Area, where a federal lawmaker and several other party officials were also suspended over similar allegations.

Although the state government has not officially connected the suspended aides to the ongoing party disputes, the timing of the action has raised public speculation that it may be part of broader efforts to enforce party discipline and manage internal conflicts.

The situation continues to draw attention within political circles in Jigawa State as observers await further clarification from the government or the ruling party on the matter.
