Standup9ja: Bauchi Deputy Governor resigns
The Deputy Governor of Bauchi State, Engr. Nuhu Gidado, has resigned.
This was contained in a letter dated May 16 and which was addressed to the state governor, Mohammed A. Abubakar.
In the letter, the
deputy governor explained that his decision was based on his commitment
to serve for only a single term as deputy governor of the state.
“Ordinarily, I
should have remained up to the end of the tenure, but, with the
currently dampened spirit and waning zeal as it relates to my official
engagements, my continued stay will not be fair and truthful to you as
my brother and leader,” he stated in the letter.
Engr. Gidado also noted that staying on in office will be unfair to the state and his conscience.
He thanked the people of the state and Governor Abubakar for giving him the rare opportunity of serving as his deputy.
When our reporter placed a call to his number, his line was busy.
Our reporter
later contacted Governor Abubakar's Press Secretary, Abubakar El-Sadique
on telephone who promised to call back whenever he gets details.
However, the
Special Assistant (SA) Media to the deputy governor, Yakubu Adamu, later
confirmed to our reporter on telephone that Engr. Gidado has resigned.
