Namadi's resignation comes hours after Governor Abba Yusuf received the report of the investigative committee probing his role in the controversial bail. In a statement, Namadi explained that his decision to resign was made in the interest of the public and due to the sensitive nature of the matter.
"As a member of an administration that champions the fight against illicit drugs, I must take this step to protect the values we've built," Namadi said. "While I maintain my innocence, I cannot ignore public perception and the need to uphold our administration's principles."
Governor Abba Yusuf has accepted Namadi's resignation, wishing him success in his future endeavors. The governor reiterated his administration's commitment to justice, discipline, and the fight against drug-related crimes.
The investigative committee had concluded that Namadi acted negligently and was culpable for volunteering to stand as surety for Danwawu without conducting proper due diligence. The development has sparked attention to the Kano State Government's stance on corruption and its efforts to combat drug-related crimes.
