| Lt Gen (r) Ali Jan Muhammad Orakzai will replace outgoing NWFP governor Khalilur Rehman, sources told Daily Times on Monday. Sources said that President General Pervez Musharraf had decided to appoint Orakzai as the new NWFP governor. "A notification in this regard will be issued soon," they said. The president accepted the Rehman's resignation on Monday, they added. "Rehman will likely be appointed as an advisor to Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz." Orakzai has served as the Peshawar Corps commander and currently is the Defence and Production Division secretary. Sources aid that Rehman sent his resignation to Aiwan-e-Saddar. He resigned from governorship after less than a year in his tenure. Rumours about the outgoing NWFP governor's resignation had been spreading for several months and it had been reported that he would leave the office soon. |
