Sunday, August 25, 2024-The Director General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ahmed Abubakar, has said that he resigned from his office due to personal and family reasons.
Abubakar personally tendered his resignation
to President Tinubu yesterday August 24 at the presidential villa, Abuja.
Speaking to newsmen after seeing the
President. Abubakar said;
“There are quite a number of reasons one
will do that. Some personal family issues, but nothing very serious, actually,
and the friendship will continue. I discussed with Mr. President, he understood
very well, and I promised to remain steadfast with issues and the security
situations of the country.”
Abubakar said he resigned after visiting
the President for a routine briefing at the Villa.
“It’s a routine thing, from time to time,
to brief Mr. President on situations, on issues, and today is no exception.
After the briefing, I tendered my resignation and Mr. President graciously
approved and accepted the resignation. I thanked him for giving me the
opportunity to serve Nigeria under his transformational leadership for an
extended period of 15 months, which is very rare,” he said.
