The Katsina State chapter of the Peoples’

Democratic Party, PDP, has urged the

state government not to consider

dissolving council chairmen insisting that

it will resist such attempt.

Speaking to newsmen in Katsina, the

state acting PDP chairman, Salisu Yusuf

Majigiri, said elected officers at the

council level must be allowed to complete

their tenure in line with the spirit of the

constitution.

“We realised that the state government is

all out to use the state House of

Assembly to dissolve the council

chairmen. This is unconstitutional and

any attempt to do that will be fiercely

resisted.”

The PDP said the mere fact that Governor

Masari’s first communication to the state

assembly was about the council chairmen

smacks of witch-hunting declaring that

“This is just because the council chairmen

are PDP members”.

The PDP chairman stressed that the

actions of Governor Masari has confirmed

that his administration was hell bent on

witch-hunting the previous administration

and urged the state government to turn

its attention to addressing the needs of

the people.
