BCDA Tori Dey Still Get Wahala As Wike Padi George No Gree Comot From Im Office.
Di wahala for leadership of Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) still dey continue, as Dr Dakorinama Alabo George reportedly still dey for di agency, even after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announce Abdulrazak Sa’ad Namdas as im replacement.
Di Presidency announce Namdas appointment on June 26, 2026, and talk say e go replace George. Di Presidency say George don resign because e wan follow for Rivers State election matter. Dem say di new appointment take effect immediately.
But reports wey come out for September talk say George still dey use di agency office and still dey join some official activities. One worker for di agency confirm say George still dey BCDA headquarters. Namdas too talk say e never resume because e still dey wait for im official appointment letter from Office of di Secretary to di Government of di Federation (OSGF).
George don work before as Commissioner for Works for Rivers State under former Governor Nyesom Wike, and e later continue work under Governor Siminalayi Fubara. George also join APC governorship screening for Rivers State for 2026, but e later comot from di race before di party primary.
Reports link im withdrawal to support for Kingsley Chinda, wey be politician wey dey close to Wike.
Di matter don also enter di agency business. According to reports based on Daily Trust findings, procurement papers wey BCDA put for im website on September 10 still dey show say di office of Executive Secretary dey handle procurement matters.
Di papers include invitation for companies to submit bids for 2026 capital projects and other supplies. September 23 na di deadline wey dem give for submission.
George don also reject di claim say e resign from BCDA. For one WhatsApp message wey reports previously publish, e talk say e don withdraw from di Rivers governorship race before di primary and say mistake happen for di announcement about im replacement.
But di Presidency don earlier reject di claim say George don get another appointment. Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga talk say, “Namdas stays.”
Another thing wey dey make di matter more confusing be say BCDA own website still dey show George as Executive Secretary. Dis one dey create different information about who really get authority to lead di agency.
Some legal and public service people wey reports talk to get different views about di matter. Di main questions include how George resignation take happen, whether di presidential appointment of Namdas don fully take effect and why Namdas never get di appointment letter wey go allow am resume officially.
For now, di main matter still never clear publicly. Di Presidency don announce Namdas as George replacement, but reports say George still dey BCDA, while di agency website still dey show am as Executive Secretary.
Di situation don raise questions about how government agencies dey hand over leadership, who get authority during transition and how federal appointments dey properly document.
