The Senegalese lady, Ms. Khadijetou Wouro Ba, secretly appointed by the Kwara state Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as her Economic Development Adviser has confirmed her appointment to THE INFORMANT247.
This was made known through a private chat with our correspondent who posed as Business Expert.
She confirmed to the our undercover journalist to be the Economic Development Adviser to the Kwara State Governor.
The Senegalese lady – who claimed to be outside the country currently- was one of the secret “Special Advisers” and “Advisers” appointed by governor AbdulRazaq.
When our undercover journalist further dislosed to have a business proposal for the State government, she responded by sending her mail a customised email address for Kwara state Government officials; (k.ba@kwarastate.gov.ng)
The email address with the initials; “k.ba” depicts her name “Khadijetou Ba” as it is linked to the Kwara state Government website’s domain (…@kwarastate.gov.ng) – a name which is exclusively reserved for cabinet members of the state government only.
Consequently, this contradicts the refuttal statement churned out by the Governor’s Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye who, in an attempt to cover-up the secret appointment saga insisted that no other person has been appointed as an “Adviser” or “Special Adviser” aside the Special Adviser on Health Matters.
To further confirm the validity of the mail, a message was sent and signs of correspondence abound. Any message to inauthentic email address are usually bounced in quick time.
Information filtering in revealed that she has been appointed and working with the State Government to superintend the Economic Development of the State without statutory approval of Kwara State House of Assembly as the chamber had recently only approved the appointment of 6 “Special Advisers” and not “Adviser” as indicated in her Business Card which bears the name of Kwara State Government.
Additional information as obtained by THE INFORMANT247 exposed that most of the aides to the governor including the Press Secretary are are kept in sheer darkness on how the government is being run and only rely on side information to feed the hungry and unsuspecting public.
However, when the appointment was leaked by THE INFORMANT247, top sources within the Government House confided in our correspondent that a strong directive was sent down to the Press Secretary to cover-up the secret by insisting that no appointment was made by the government to repair the image of the governor who is at the mercy of the public.
Speaking on Ajakaye’s statement, an anonymous source said, “I am disappointed for the first time in the Governor’s image maker(s) with regards to the purported secret appointment of a Senegalese as Economic Adviser,”
“The issue is definitely not about who the governor has chosen to work with, that is his insailable constitutional right, it is however criminal to appoint without proper announcement, the secrecy which heralded such smells of a cover up,”
“The response of the government’s media team without head nor tail shows an official cover up,”
The statement continued, “If the reaction of the Government is anything to go by, then the lady in question is an impersonator, if that is the case, then the following measures are expected of the AbduRazaq’s government; Do a strongly worded disclaimer disassociating the Government, Governor and the State from the said ‘impostor.’
“Write relevant security agencies to investigate and ensure they bring her to book,”
“Warn the general public who wish to do business with Kwara to beware of the said impostor and take the matter up diplomatically with her Country and ensure she’s caught and dealt with,”
“If all these fail to happen and this matter is assumed to die a natural death, then a bad precedence has been set and the continuous impersonation of the CPS, now the governor and even the entire government will only increase in scope.”
