Alhaji Ishaq Hadejia, a chieftain of All Progressives Congress in Jigawa State, has asked the Minister of Water Resources, Alhaji Suleiman Adamu, to resign his appointment with immediate effect.
The APC chieftain stated this while speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday.
Hadejia, who spoke in Dutse, alleged that Adamu has not been coming for political meetings or activities in the state because he said that he is not a politician.
He said: “If that is the reason for the minister, he should better resign.
“It is because of politics he was given the appointment.
“It is really unfortunate that if something happened in the state, whether good or bad, you will never see the minister coming to rejoice or sympathise with the people.
“The recent flood, which submerged over 500 communities in the state, with 40 deaths, including loss of foodstuff, properties, farmlands, live stocks, the minister did not even bother to come and sympathise with the people.”
Hadejia stated that Jigawa State is an agrarian state full of potentials, adding: “As Minister for Water Resources, he didn’t care to collaborate with the Ministry for Agriculture to harness the potentials in it.”
He said the Jigawa State Government is currently spending billions of naira on water projects across the state, tasking Adamu to point to his contribution in that regard.
