Kano Deputy Gov. Prof. Abubakar resigns

Kano State Deputy Governor, Prof. Hafiz Abubakar, resigns
Prof. Hafiz Abubakar, has resigned his position as Kano State Deputy Governor.
Abubakar’s notice of resignation was conveyed in a letter he tendered on Sunday to the State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
The outgoing deputy governor said he wanted to remain in office until the end of his tenure, but chose to resign due to irreconcilable differences with the governor.
“I regret to write and notify you of my decision to resign my position as deputy governor of Kano State with effect from Saturday Aug. 4, 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.
“Your excellency, 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.
“Your Excellency would recall several instances I had to draw your attention to the need to understand and appreciate these differences in order to avoid drifting into the kind of unnecessary crisis we are facing today, but to no avail,” the letter read in part.
“I have endured immeasurable and unjustifiable humiliation for over two and half years without any reason other than my principled position on issues of governance and the desire to keep the government on track,” the letter added.
Abubakar, a loyalist of former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, has been at loggerheads with the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, for siding with Senator Kwankwaso’s faction in the state.
When contacted ,the state Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, confirmed the receipt of the resignation letter by Ganduje. (NAN )
