Leadership Clash at Border Communities Agency as Tinubu Appointee Barred from Office

Three weeks after President Tinubu named Dr Abdulrazak Namdas to lead the Border Communities Development Agency, the SGF has yet to release his formal appointment letter. The outgoing DG, Dakorinama George, remains in charge and continues to attend high-level meetings. An APC chieftain has accused the SGF of ignoring presidential directives, while the Presidency insists Namdas’s appointment stands. Sources say George never formally handed over after losing his bid for governor in Rivers State and still enjoys backing from key political figures. The tug-of-war echoes a similar dispute at NIPOST last October, raising fresh concerns about the system for implementing presidential appointments. Legal and public affairs experts warn the delay creates uncertainty over who holds lawful authority at the agency.

Could this delay stem from bureaucratic bottlenecks at the SGF's office?

It looks odd that the outgoing DG can still attend high-level meetings despite a clear presidential nomination.

This fuss over a signed letter seems overblown if the President's intent is already clear.

The Senate or relevant oversight committee should call for clarity on this appointment to prevent administrative confusion.
