“Out of the 28 people he appointed as Special Advisers and Senior Special Assistants,  PDP has 24, APC has one, APGA has one, Labour has one, Accord has one.”

The party leaders also threatened to carry out disciplinary measures, if the Governor does not respond to the probe committee.

Governor Bello has also been accused of snubbing the APC leaders in the state.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday, June 7, 2016 summoned Yahaya Bello to appear before it over allegations that he refused to adhere to resolutions of the National Assembly and a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.
