Bauchi Gov Re-appoints Kashim As SSG Days After Stepping Down As Gov’ship Candidate

Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, has reappointed Barrister Ibrahim Mohammed Kashim as the Secretary to the Bauchi State Government (SSG).

The reappointment of Barrister Kashim followed his decision to withdraw step down as the state’s governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 elections.

Kashim had emerged as the governorship flag bearer of the party in Bauchi a week ago at the party’s governorship primaries as an unopposed governorship aspirant of the PDP.

The governor in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Mukhtar Mohammed Gidado, on Thursday, said the reappointment of Barrister Kashim came on the heels of his track record of achievements during his earlier appointment as SSG about nine months ago.

“His reappointment was informed by his track record of sincerity, loyalty, commitment and wealth of experience in the discharge of assigned responsibilities,” the statement reads in part.
