The development comes 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.
The Kano State Government on Tuesday received the report of the fact-finding committee set up to investigate the alleged involvement of Namadi in securing the bail of a suspected drug baron. However, Namadi announced his resignation in a statement on Wednesday, signed by the Director General, Media and Publicity, Kano Government House, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa.
He explained that his decision to resign was made in the public’s interest and in light of the matter’s sensitive nature.
“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 Governor Yusuf for the opportunity to serve the state and reaffirmed 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.
