“The former Commissioner also extended heartfelt appreciation to his father for granting him the moral support and blessing to serve the people of Adamawa State.

“He commended the Permanent Secretaries of Works and Energy, the directors, engineers, and the entire staff of the ministry for their professionalism, resilience, and dedication to infrastructural advancement across the state.

Mr Atiku-Abubakar said the “resignation does not mark the end of his commitment to public service, but rather the beginning of new avenues for developmental collaboration.

“He reaffirmed his readiness to continue contributing meaningfully to the growth, unity, and progress of Adamawa State”, the statement said.

The development followed Governor Fintiri’s defection to the APC, alongside several of his cabinet members and high-ranking government officials.
