Bauchi State Governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar, has accepted the resignation of Engineer Nuhu Gidado as Deputy Governor and wish him well in his future endeavours.

The Governor in a press statement signed and issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Ali Mohammed Ali described “his tenure and service to the state as meritorious and therefore, deserving commendation”.

The statement reads in part that “the Governor particularly commended the former number two citizen of the state for the remarkable manner of his resignation,” and expressed optimism that he will avail his vast wealth of experience to the state anytime he is called upon in the future.

It further contains that, “We received the resignation of our Deputy Governor, Engr Nuhu Gidado. On behalf of the people of Bauchi state, I want to thank him for his meritorious service while in office. He remains vital to our administration and party.

“I wish him well in his future endeavours, and he can count on me for support. I am also optimistic he will avail the state his service when called upon in the future”, the statement added.

It would be recalled that Nuhu Gidado had late on Wednesday resigned as the Deputy Governor of Bauchi in a letter to the Governor explaining that his decision was based on his “commitment to serve for only a single term as Deputy Governor of the state”.

Nuhu Gidado in the letter also stated that, “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”.

The Deputy Governor also believes that staying on in office will be unfair to the system and his conscience just as he further reminded the Governor that during their meeting on April 19th he had informed him that he was thinking about stepping aside.

Nuhu Gidado then thanked the Governor and the people of the state for the opportunity to serve as Deputy Governor of the state.
