Addressing newsmen on Friday at a Press Conference held at NUJ Press Center,, the commissioner and one of the most powerful associates of Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar said he was compelled to resign his appointment in view of “the recent developments and political realities of present day Bauchi state as well as dictates of the moment.”
