Alhaji Sirajo Maikatako, Permanent Commissioner, Zamfara State Hajj Commission, has resigned his appointment.
The Commissioner announced his resignation when he addressed a group, APC Facebookers, in Gusau on Thursday.
Maikatako said: “I wish to announce my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party-led State Government.
“The decision is to show my commitments to support my political mentor, Senator Kabiru Marafa, towards promoting peace and unity in our great party, the All Progressives Congress.
“I want to call on the PDP-led government in the state to avoid politics of bitterness and witch-hunting.
“What I expect from PDP and other political parties in the state is for them congratulate us as APC members on the recent reconciliation achieved by our great party.
“We should avoid a do or die politics.”
Maikatako urged APC Facebookers to avoid spreading hate speech and fake news via that social media, advising the group to focus on promoting peace, love and unity among party members.
He said: “As from today, I am advising you that you should not react to anybody who accuses Marafa or any chieftain of our great party on social media.
“We should continue to pray for the state APC leader, Alhaji Abdul’aziz Yari, to succeed in his move to vie for the APC National Chairmanship position.”
He urged the PDP-led administration in the state to focus on governance and not politics.
Maikatako said: “We are calling on Governor Bello Matawalle to face governance so as to provide meaningful projects for the people of the state.
“We should wait until when the time of politics comes.”
He expressed optimism that APC would reclaim the state in the 2023 general election following the reconciliation within its family in the state.
