The Deputy National Women Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hajiya Hajara Yakubu Wanka has resigned from her position to serve as a commissioner in Bauchi State.
Her resignation letter, made available to journalists in Bauchi, addressed to the Acting National Chairman of the party, Ambassador Iliya Damagun, Wanka said her decision followed the opportunity given to her by the Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed to serve as commissioner.
In the letter, she expressed her profound gratitude to the national leadership of opposition PDP for the rare privilege given her to serve as Deputy National Women Leader of the party and to Governor Mohammed for finding her worthy to serve in his cabinet.
While asserting that the experience she gained while serving as the Deputy National Women Leader of the party cannot be quantified, Wanka stated that such experience would immensely enhance her performance as a commissioner in Bauchi State.
Wanka was among the 24 commissioner-nominees’ list sent to the State House of Assembly by Governor Mohammed and screened and confirmed by the House.
Meanwhile, the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) has accepted and congratulated Hajiya Wanka on her appointment as a commissioner in the Bauchi State Executive Council.
The National Publicity Secretary of the main opposition party, Debo Ologunagba, in a press statement released on Monday described Wanka’s appointment by Governor Mohammed as another testament to her selfless service, deep intellect, competence, administrative skills and patriotic roles towards the development of PDP, Bauchi State and the nation at large.
