The new Chief of Staff, it could be recalled, was the Chief of Staff to Mr Bala James Ngilari when Ngilari was the Adamawa State governor from October 2014 to May 2015.
Ngillari had been the deputy governor with Murtala Nyako as governor when an impeachment process by the state House of Assembly removed them and Ahmadu Fintiri who was the speaker of the House became the acting governor.
Fintiri himself was less than three months later removed from the governor’s seat by the court which faulted the impeachment in favour of Ngilari.
