Raliya Kashim, a senior staff of the Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic Bauchi, has been suspended over her alleged involvement in partisan politics.
The spokesperson for the polytechnic, Maimako Baraya, who disclosed this in a statement on Friday, said Kashim was suspended for allegedly campaigning for the “APC’s presidential and governorship candidates using her WhatsApp page.”
Baraya said the academic’s action flouted the stipulations of the state public service.
He said, “The employee recently posted videos containing campaign materials of the presidential and the governorship candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) which is a clear violation of the code of ethics for public servants.
“The management of the Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic wishes to categorically state that the institution is a professional entity governed by rules. It shall leave no stone unturned in ensuring that all employees respect the laws of the institution.
“We wish to assure the general public that there would be no sacred cow and it will never be intimidated by the activities of political jobbers, fifth columnists, and enemies of the state.”
Kashim was the deputy general manager of consultancy services of the polytechnic before her suspension.
KanyiDaily had also reported how a Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia was suspended for his involvement in politics after purchasing forms to contest for the APC governorship primary in Benue.
