Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State on Tuesday sacked the
Commissioner for Information, Bello Muhammad-Goronyo, following his
defection to the All Progressives Congress.
Tambuwal’s Director-General, Media and Public Relations,
Abubakar Shekara, disclosed this in a statement in Sokoto.
“Governor Aminu Tambuwal has relieved Barrister Bello Goronyo of
his appointment as Commissioner for Information with immediate
effect.
“The Permanent Secretary has been directed to take over the
affairs of the Ministry immediately,” Shekara said.

programmes and activities.
