Khadija Bukar Abba-Ibrahim, the
minister of state for foreign affairs, has resigned her appointment.
The minister confirmed her
resignation to state house correspondents on Wednesday in Abuja.
Abba-Ibrahim, who is from Yobe
state, attributed her action on the need to run for elective office.
She seeks to represent the
Damaturu/Tarmuwa/Gujba/Gulani federal constituency of Yobe.
Abba-Ibrahim, who was appointed
minister in November 2015 by President Buhari, scored 1,295 votes to defeat her
step son who got 15 votes.
The minister’s resignation came
barely six weeks after the resignation of minister of state for environment,
Ibrahim Jibril, following his selection by the Nasarawa emirate council as the
new emir of Nasarawa.
