Niger State deputy governor, Hon Ahmed Musa Ibeto, has been evicted from the Government House, even as government officials said the move was to give room for routine maintenance and renovation of the Government House.
One of the aides of the deputy governor who preferred anonymity said that the deputy governor’s office located inside the Government House had been served a notice to relocate from Government House.
The aides of the deputy governor said they had been directed to relocate to ‘F’ Layout quarters along Bosso road Minna which is about 2 kilometres away from the government house.
The deputy governor office at was hitherto located at government house and was located at the back of the Governor’s office which almost linked both offices to each other by the parking lot.
LEADERSHIP gathered that in a letter written, dated the 27th February 2015 and signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Rt Hon Idris Ndako, Kpaki gave the deputy governor up until today (Monday) to relocate to the new office.
Whereas the development was being attributed to the defection of the deputy governor to APC as there was no love lost between him and the Niger State governor, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, the permanent secretary, Government House, Comrade Hamisu Jankaru, said that the action as contained in the letter was to give room for the renovation of the offices.
He stated that “If you can see the renovation started from the protocol office and also extended to the other parts of Government House and it is not out of place to renovate the office by the time we finish renovation they will come back”
In his response through a telephone interview the Deputy Governor said he was not in town and was yet to confirm the authenticity of the said directive relocating him out of Government House adding that when he is back to office he will be able to speak on it.
