Ex-Bauchi Dep. Gov, Resigned Because He Was Redundant

More facts have emerged on why former Bauchi State Deputy Governor, Nuhu Gidado, who resigned last Wednesday, left the Governor Mohammed Abubakar administration. Although he had tried to leave earlier except that he was being prevailed upon at each turn he tendered his resignation letter not to rock the boat, he eventually left because he was tired of doing nothing apart from just reading newspapers all day. Gidado, who submitted his letter of resignation late on Wednesday night, cited amongst other reasons, “waning enthusiasm for the job”, a development many political observers in the state reckon could constitute a major setback to the reelection of Governor Abubakar. A THISDAY source, who pleaded anonymity, said Gidado had lost the zeal to just show up at work only to spend the rest of the day reading the newspapers or wait to be told what to do by Governor Abubakar,” adding that he had no responsibilities assigned to him. In his resignation letter, he had noted 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.” He therefore declared that he had lost interest in the job and extended his appreciation to the people of the state for giving him the opportunity to serve.
