The sacked Commissioner of Health in Borno State, Dr. Salisu Kwaya-Bura, has said his sack was not politically motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kwaya-Bura was sacked on Tuesday by Governor Babagana Zulum, who also named Professor Isa Marte as his replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ripples Nigeria reported on Tuesday that his sack was announced in a statement by the Special Adviser to Zulum on Public Relations and Strategy, Malam Isa Gusau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gusau said in the statement: \u201cThe Borno State<\/a> Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, has relieved the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Salihu Kwayabura, of his position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gusau further said that the sack was part of necessary measures to reposition the ministry of health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his reaction while speaking to journalists later on Tuesday, Kwaya-Bura, said: \u201cContrary to speculations that my appointment was terminated due to political reasons, this is not true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe decision did not come to me as a surprise because I did not appoint myself in the first place and I believe that someone else has the right to be appointed by the governor as he pleases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do not believe that this is political or anything to do with my role in the COVID-19<\/a> team as being speculated because I am a professional medical personnel and I will continue to play vital role in the administration of good health in Borno State.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
