As quoted in the source, Imam was dismissed alongside another commissioner for issuing a death threat to judges of the state’s governorship electoral petition tribunal.

The governor’s decision to reinstate Imam has once again thrust the issue into the spotlight, raising questions about the administration’s commitment to accountability and respect for public office. The move comes eight months after Imam’s initial dismissal, a decision that was initially praised for its swift action against misconduct.

In addition to Imam’s reappointment, the governor has made several other appointments, including new special advisers and heads of government agencies. This broader reshuffle of the administration’s leadership team suggests an attempt to reshape the state’s governance landscape.
