Gidado informed Governor Muhammed Abubakar of his decision in a letter dated May 16.

Furthermore, he reminded the governor that during their meeting on April 19th he had informed him that he was thinking about stepping aside.

“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 wrote.

Gidado thanked Governor Abubakar and the people of the state for the opportunity to serve as deputy governor of the state.
