Group Kicks Against Bauchi Commissioners’ Conducts, Seeks Ulama Intervention

The Toro Joint Action for Moral Sanity (TJAMS), yesterday, expressed deep concern and disappointment over the alleged conduct exhibited by the Bauchi State Commissioners of Health and Education at a recent party in Dass LGA.

TJAMS, a community-based organisation that aims to uphold moral values and promote ethical behaviour, said that during the event, the commissioners, Dr Jamila Dahiru of Education and Dr Adamu Sambo of Health, were allegedly witnessed spraying money as they danced in close proximity to each other.

The group in a statement by its chairperson, Hajiya Ladi Danlami, questioned the choice of the commissioners, to spend their time and resources in such a frivolous manner.

The group said that both officials, who should be focused on empowering their constituents at home and fulfilling their primary responsibilities to the community, decided to engage in lavish spending at a party elsewhere.

Highlighting the specific concerns surrounding Dr Dahiru, the TJAMS noted that as a married woman and mother, she should have displayed a high level of moral uprightness, particularly in her role as the commissioner for education.

Danlami said: “It is expected that she would promote moral values in schools, especially among young girls, visit informal schools such as Islamiya to encourage the students, support exceptional and talented students, and serve as a role model.

“The TJAMS expressed distress at the fact that instead of fulfilling these important responsibilities, Dr Jamila was seen spraying money that would have been better utilized to support her immediate constituency, which is in dire need of assistance.”

In light of these events, the TJAMS called on the Ulama, who are regarded as guardians of morality, to examine the actions of the two commissioners.

He added, “The organization strongly believes that the Ulama should play a crucial role in addressing and rectifying any moral transgressions exhibited by individuals holding positions of authority.
