Kano State Commissioner for Transportation, Alhaji Ibrahim Namadi, has resigned from his position just hours after Governor Abba Yusuf received the report of the investigative committee probing his involvement in the controversial bail of a suspected drug baron, Sulaiman Danwawu.
Namadi announced his resignation in a statement signed by the Director General, Media and Publicity, Kano Government House, Sanusi DawakinTofa on Wednesday
He explained that his decision to resign was made in the interest of the public and in the light of the sensitive nature of the matter.
“As a member of an administration that has consistently championed the fight against the sales and consumption of illicit drugs, it behoves me to take this step—painful as it may be.
”While I maintain my innocence, I cannot ignore the weight of public perception and the need to protect the values we have collectively built,” the statement partly read.
Namadi thanked the State Governor, Abba Yusuf, for the opportunity to serve the state, reaffirming his dedication to the principles of good governance and responsible leadership.
He stated, “I must, as a good citizen, strive to protect, preserve, and uphold the trust and vision we have worked so hard to instil in our dear state.
“I remain loyal to the ideals that brought this administration into office.”
The statement further noted that the governor had accepted Namadi’s resignation.
“Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has graciously accepted the resignation and wished the former commissioner success in his future endeavours.
“He also reiterated his administration’s unwavering stance on justice, discipline, and the fight against drug-related crimes and social vices affecting the youth and the broader society.
“The governor further stressed the need for all political appointees to always reason with caution on sensitive matters and obtain permission from the higher authority anytime they are about to engage themselves on issues of public interest,” the statement concluded.
