Real Reasons Bauchi Deputy Governor Resigned

In what came as the last ‘straw that broke the camel’s back’ following irreconcilable political differences, Bauchi State Deputy Governor, Mr Nuhu Gidado last Wednesday resigned with immediate effect.

THISDAY POLITICS ‎found that Gidado submitted his letter of resignation to the State Governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar late Wednesday night , citing “waning enthusiasm for the job” as reason for leaving.

Gidado’s resignation is seen by many political followers in the state as a major setback for the governor’s bid for a second term.

The deputy governor had previously threatened to resign from office in the past but was prevailed upon to remain. He had contested and lost the party gubernatorial primaries in 2015.

The letter containing Gidado’s resignation was submitted to the state governor on Wednesday, May 16, 2018,however, THISDAY learnt that Gidado threw in the towel because he was no longer comfortable with doing nothing.
