Following the sacking of 17 out of the 21 local government sole administrators in the state by Gov. Bagudu, Argungu Local Government was among the affected councils. This led to the emergence of Hindatu as she was appointed the acting sole dministrator. Hajiya Hindatu is a sister to the wife of Alhaji Bello Dantani, one of the influential politicians from Argungu area of Kebbi State. Dantani served as deputy speaker of the state House of Assembly and later became deputy governor of Kebbi State when Alhaji Muhammed Suleiman Argungu resigned as deputy governor to Adamu Aliero in 2007.
