See Why Bauchi Deputy Governor Nuhu Gadado Resigned

Details have emerged on why the Bauchi State Deputy Governor, Alhaji Nuhu Gadado resigned on Wednesday.

Gadado tendered his resignation letter yesterday, a development confirmed by some of his aides to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN.

The Deputy Governor’s Special Assistant on Communication Matters, Yakubu Adamu, said his principal sent his resignation to the Governor, through the Office of the Secretary to the State Government.

In his letter, which Adamu made available to NAN, Gadado said he had earlier reiterated his commitment to serve for a single term.

The letter reads, “Ordinarily, I should have remained up to the end of the tenure, but, with the current 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.

“In this regard, I feel sure that, Your Excellency will readily recollect the most recent one-on-one discussion we had, precisely, on Thursday, April 19th, 2018, in your office, where, among other issues, I expressed to you, my contemplation to ‘step aside’, if need be, in order to free my conscience.

“I regret to say that it has become necessary to yield to that inner calling, and may this development be in accordance with the blessed will and guidance of Allah (SWT), Ameen.”

Also, a blood relation to the Deputy Governor, Sufiyanu Gidado, and his Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs, confirmed the development in a telephone interview with NAN on Wednesday.
