The Kano State Commissioner for Education, Alhaji Farouk Iya, has resigned his appointment in protest against alleged moves by Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking to newsmen on Thursday in Kano, Iya said he was not ready to dump the PDP for APC.
“It is true that I have submitted my resignation letter to the state governor, because the government is trying to or has joined APC and I am not interested in the APC.
“The governor is my leader and there is nothing wrong between me and him but I will remain in PDP,’’ he said.
The resignation letter, made available to newsmen by the commissioner, reads: “In view of the government’s decision to join the APC, I hereby resign from the executive council.
“I will no longer be in a position to give you my honest contribution when I have no allegiance to the party.
“This letter comes from my greatest respect.”
It will be recalled that Kwankwaso, recently received leaders of the APC in Kano, who were wooing him to dump the PDP and join the new party.
