The Governor of Niger state, Babangida Aliyu, has ordered his deputy, Alhaji Ahmed Ibeto to stop attending state executive council meeting over his defection to opposition, APC.
Governor Aliyu also alleged that during one of Ibeto’s campaign, he (Ibeto) called him a thief. According to reports gathered the governor in his opening remark before the commencement of the regular weekly state executive council meeting on Wednesday at Government House Minna, said he would not chair a meeting where the deputy was seated.
He thereafter asked the deputy governor to leave the council chambers because he (Ibeto) could use information gathered at such meetings against the PDP.
The deputy governor hurriedly left for his office and parked his valuables after Aliyu allegedly threatened to use the security agents against him.
However, a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Israel Ebije, on Thursday said that the deputy governor was not chased out of the meeting.
