Leadership Clash at BCDA: George Defies Tinubu’s Replacement Order

A leadership row has erupted at the Border Communities Development Agency after President Tinubu announced former House member Abdulrazak Sa’ad Namdas as the new Director General. Dr Dakorinama Alabo George, however, remains in the agency’s office despite the public announcement. George insists he never resigned to contest the APC governorship primary in Rivers State and continues to host official meetings, even securing budget pledges from the Finance Minister. Supporters have circulated claims that the President reversed George’s replacement, though the Presidency maintains Namdas is the legitimate head. The dispute highlights confusion over titles—Executive Secretary versus Director General—and raises questions about compliance with Tinubu’s directive for political appointees seeking elective office under the Electoral Act.
