As crisis between him and the Governor of Kano state
continues, deputy Governor of the state, Hafiz Abubakar has resigned.
This is coming as many have
speculated that he will be leaving the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC,
to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as the relationship with him
and the Governor deteriorates.
In his resignation letter dated
August 5, 2018, Abubakar 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.
“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 State.
“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.
Recall that on July 30, Mr Abubakar
petitioned the police and State Security Service, SSS, over threat to his life
and plans by the state government to stage rally against him.
Mr Abubakar, a loyalist of former
Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, has been at loggerheads with the state governor,
Abdullahi Ganduje, for siding with Mr Kwankwaso in the political impasse in the
state.
