COTABATO CITY (PNA) – Maguindanao del Norte has only one duly appointed provincial governor who the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) officially recognizes.
Lawyer Naguib Sinarimbo, Bangsamoro Interior Minister and BARMM spokesperson, reiterated this during a press conference here on Thursday, August 17, BARMMas he dismissed the claim of Bai Ainee Sinsuat that the recent Supreme Court ruling had acknowledged her governorship in the newly created province.
On Monday, Sinsuat stepped down as vice governor and assumed as acting governor, based on the SC ruling that granted her request to name an acting provincial treasurer. Sinarimbo said Sinsuat erred in interpreting the latest SC ruling, as it only resolved the appointment of the provincial treasurer and did not delve into the question of who should be Maguindanao del Norte's chief executive.
Lawyer Ronald Torres, Sinsuat's legal consultant, said Sinsuat assumed the post on Monday and currently holds office in Datu Odin Sinsuat town.
