KARACHI: Sindh governor Dr Ishratul Ibad on Wednesday was removed from office, former Chief Justice Saeeduzzaman Siddiqui as the new governor Sindh.
Siddiqui was among the top candidates for the post of president in 2003 and 2008 against Asif Zardari.
Siddiqui confirmed the development, to Dawn.com, saying he is going to assume the office. He said that restoration of law and order in Karachi would be his first priority.
He said that after taking oath he will review the issues of funds and powers so as to put the matter of local government in order.
“We also need to look into the political divisions in the city so as to utilise political segments in order to resolve problems of the people.”
He said Ibad was removed due to “recent controversies”.
“I will try my best to address the issues of people,” he said.
“I believe that maintaining peace in Karachi is the joint responsibility of both the provincial government and the governor. If peace is maintained in the city, businesses will flourish and people will take a sigh of relief,” he said while emphasising the need of peace in the province.
