Politics Yobe Governor, Gaidam Sends Commissioner Home For Sleeping

[ProfRem]

Yobe State Governor, Ibrahim Gaidam, on Thursday directed a sleeping commissioner at the presentation of the 2017 budget to the State House of Assembly to go home for more sleep.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the governor had barely commenced reading the budget speech when the cabinet member started snoring.

Gaidam warned that any public officer henceforth caught sleeping stood sacked.

“As from today, any commissioner or special adviser caught sleeping stands sacked and will immediately be replaced.

“We will borrow a leaf from the North Korea experience to make government affairs a serious business,” he said.



Gaidam while reviewing the budget performance of the outgoing year paused and directed the sleeping commissioner to go home.

“I am referring to the commissioner who is sleeping, you can go back home to sleep since you cannot endure the session,” he said.

Although the governor did not mention the name of the sleeping commissioner, he pointed to the row of the commissioners and issued the directive.

Ain't the North Korea referral a little bit extreme?

Abi o. Kim Jong Un's government is dictatorial and tyrannical - one of the most oppressive societies in the world.

Bros...There is no punishment too extreme for the so-called politicians here. They undermine lot of issues. I don't know why they sleep alot during sessions rather than contributing their quotas to drive the nation forward.

He could have been tired. Ho could be lazy. But you can never justify killing someone just for sleeping during official duties. Kim Jong Un even executed an official for not sitting properly during a meeting. That's bizarre
