Power Struggle in Niger! Chanchaga LG Chairman Suspended After Suing State Over Tenure Dispute
A political storm has erupted in Chanchaga Local Government Area of Niger State, as Chairman Aminu Yakubu Ladan has been suspended by 8 out of 10 councillors, just days after he filed a lawsuit against the state government and NSIEC over plans to conduct LG polls in November 2025.
Ladan, who claims his four-year tenure is being cut short, sought a court injunction, citing a Supreme Court ruling. But the council fired back with nine allegations, including misappropriation of funds, abuse of office, and unauthorized contracts.
The councillors invoked multiple sections of the Niger State Local Government Law, accusing him of dodging oversight, ignoring council summons, and undermining governance. He's been given five days to respond or face forfeiture of his right to defend himself.
The drama follows his failed APC ticket bid ahead of the next election — raising questions about political motives behind the move.
