Awwal Tukur
By Our Reporter
Many have been wondering why the Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, appointed Awwal D. Tukur as the Secretary to the State Government.
NATIONAL WAVES can tell you for free that Tukur was appointed based on competence, experience and popularity.
Awwal, a former Member of the House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003 served as the Director General of the Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaign Council, Adamawa State Peoples Democratic Party, in the 2023 general elections.
Tukur, scion of former National Chairman of PDP and President, African Business Roundtable, Bamanga Tukur, will replace Bashir Ahmad, appointed by Fintiri in his first term.
The governor’s decision to part ways with his erstwhile SSG is not unconnected with unsubstantiated allegations that the SSG and a few other party members were involved in anti-party activities.
Though Fintiri during a recent meeting with party stakeholders did not mince words when he told party members that appointment into office for his second term will largely reward and compensate party members who truly worked for his re-election as well as the success of the party in the polls.
