The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Hafeez Abubakar, has resigned from the position. Abubakar tendered his resignation in a letter dated August 5th 2018
and addressed to the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje on Sunday, Daily
Independent reports.
The deputy governor said he had desired to remain in office until the
end of their tenure, but chose to resign due to irreconcilable
differences with the governor.
The letter reads, “I regret to write and notify you of my decision to
resign my position as deputy governor of Kano State with effect from
Saturday 4th August, 2018.
“Your Excellency, I would have desired to remain up to the end of our
tenure in order to fulfill the aspirations and expectations of the good
people of Kano State as expressed in their mandate given to our joint
ticket in 2015, but with the current and persistent irreconcilable
differences on matters relating to governance and government operations,
personal opinions, and the concept of, and respect for, democratic
ideals and values, it would be unfair to my conscience, to the good
people of Kano State and to you as the head of the government to
continue to remain in my position as the Deputy Governor of Kano.”
