Hafiz Abubakar, the Deputy Governor of Kano State, on Sunday tendered his resignation amidst crisis with the state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje. Speculations were rife last week that Mr Abubakar had defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In the resignation letter dated August 5, 2018 obtained by INDEPENDENT, 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.
“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.
Quote
“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.”
It was also gathered that Hafiz Abubakar is an ally of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the former governor of the state who recently dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) and returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
His sudden resignation may not be unconnected to the planned commencement of impeachment process against him on Monday, by 31 members of the state house of assembly.
