A controversial list of appointees across the 23 local government areas of Kaduna State, purportedly said to have emanated from the Office of the Governor of Kaduna State, has sparked outrage within the Government House and among prominent politicians in the state.
The document, which names alleged political appointees alongside supposed sponsors, some of them prominent politicians, has raised concerns about internal sabotage and the spread of misinformation within the state’s political system.
The list is not only fake, but was deliberately leaked to cause confusion, erode public trust, and discredit both the governor and the council chairmen,” a senior government official, who pleaded anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the issue, told our correspondent.
This fraudulent act is not just a mischief. It has the potential to deceive innocent citizens into thinking these appointments have been formally endorsed,” another source within the State Executive Council said.
The government is investigating the origin of the leak, and those responsible will face the full wrath of the law.”
Political observers say the development may trigger a reassessment of the state’s appointment and vetting processes to forestall future manipulations by political middlemen.
Governor Uba Sani, who assumed office in 2023, has consistently emphasised transparency, merit, and due process in governance. Analysts say the current controversy poses a serious test to the administration’s credibility and internal cohesion.
As of press time, the government had yet to issue an official statement, though sources said a formal response would be communicated in due course to address the situation.
When contacted, the Chief Press Secretary to the Kaduna State Governor, Ibrahim Musa, did not respond to calls from our correspondent at the time of filing this report
