The Deputy Governor of Bauchi state, Nuhu Gigado has resigned.
He communicated his decision in a letter dated May 16 and in it he cited his reasons for leaving his post.
The Deputy Governor explained in the letter that he only had plans to serve as Deputy for one term and having fulfilled that obligation, he wants to step back.
“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 said in the letter.
He also stated that staying longer would be unfair to the system and to his conscience. He thanked the Governor Muhammed Abubakar and also had warm things to say about the people of the state thanking them for letting him serve as the deputy Governor.
