Governor Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya has dissolved the Executive Council of Gombe State, in a move widely interpreted as part of ongoing political recalibrations within the state.
The decision was announced on Wednesday during the 53rd meeting of the State Executive Council, though no official reason was immediately provided for the sweeping action.
However, credible sources within government circles suggested that the dissolution may not be unconnected with emerging political interests and shifting alliances among top cabinet members, especially as permutations ahead of future elections begin to gather momentum.
The abrupt disbandment of the council is expected to significantly reshape the political structure of the state’s executive arm, with observers describing it as a strategic move to consolidate power and reposition the administration.
Despite the development, indications emerged that the governor may constitute a new cabinet in the coming days to ensure continuity in governance and prevent disruption of ongoing projects and policies.
As of the time of filing this report, affected commissioners and other political appointees were yet to officially react to their removal.
Further details on the composition of a new executive council and the underlying factors behind the decision are expected to unfold in the coming days.
