KEBBI ASSEMBLY SUSPENDS LAWMAKER FOR RECKLESS COMMENTS AND DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR.

Babatunji Wusu –

Hassan Umar, a Kebbi State House of Assembly member representing Birnin Kebbi North Constituency, has been suspended for reportedly uttering unguarded remarks.

This was revealed in a statement signed by the Clerk of the House, Suleiman Shamaki, and made available to reporters on Monday.

According to the statement, Umar’s suspension was due to his unguarded statements and the agitation of some members against House leadership.

The statement partly read, “I, Suleiman Shamaki, the Clerk of Kebbi State House of Assembly, has been directed to inform the general public that the assembly, its Executive Session held on Friday, April 12, 2024, unanimously resolved and suspended Hassan Umar, member representing Birnin Kebbi North constituency, as a result of his unguarded utterances.”

The statement outlined additional offences attributed to the lawmaker, including instigating members against the House leadership and creating discord between the Executive and the legislature within the House.

Meanwhile, Aisha Galadima, a prominent political associate of the ex-Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has been arrested in Kaduna.

According to a source who spoke with DAILY POST, the arrest was allegedly linked to a Facebook post where she criticized Governor Uba Sani.

It was learned that the operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) picked up the female politician from her residence on Sunday afternoon.

One of her brothers confirmed the development, saying, “Aisha has just been arrested by DSS at her Tudun Wada residence in Kaduna.”
