Agara had resigned from his position in compliance with President Bola Tinubu's directive requiring political appointees seeking elective offices to step down before contesting party primaries.
Fresh concerns have emerged over the return of Mr. Silas Ali Agara as Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) after he reportedly resumed office following his participation in the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary election in Nasarawa State.
Agara had resigned from his position in compliance with President Bola Tinubu's directive requiring political appointees seeking elective offices to step down before contesting party primaries.
However, his reported return to the NDE has triggered questions over the legality of the move, with critics demanding clarification on whether the President formally reappointed him after his resignation.
The controversy centres on whether a statutory appointment, once resigned from and accepted, can be reclaimed without a fresh presidential appointment and public announcement.
