Zamfara commissioner resigns appointment to take up similar role in Imo
Zamfara State Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, Hajiya Rabi Shinkafi, has resigned her appointment to take up a similar role in Imo.
Confirming her decision, Thursday, Hajiya Shinkafi said she took the decision to resign so as to take another office in Imo State.
“I resigned my appointment as commissioner in Zamfara to enable me to pick another appointment as commissioner in Imo,’’ Shinkafi said in Gusau on Thursday.
“I am immensely grateful to Governor Bello Matawalle and his Wife, Hajiya Aisha Matawalle, for their kindness to me and for giving me the opportunity to serve Zamfara in different capacities.
“All the speculations on social media about my resignation are completely false; it was just work of mischief makers.
“I have a perfect and cordial relationship with the governor and his wife. I consider them as my family and they were in the picture of my going to Imo.
“Both Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo and Matawalle discussed it as fellow All Progressives Congress governors and as friends too,’’ Shinkafi added.
Hajiya Shinkafi is said to be an Igbo woman who was raised in Zamfara.
