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, actually 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, by the way, to have the opportunity to serve 2 Presidents at a stretch, at a whole.

So, I thanked him very well and promises to remain professionally dedicated to our country and to noble causes.

There are quite a number of reasons one will do that (resign), some personal family issues but nothing serious actually and the friendship will continue. I discussed personally with Mr President and he understood very well.
Abubakar was first appointed DG of the NIA in 2018 by former President Muhammadu Buhari, who extended his stay in office in December 2021.

Until his appointment, he was Senior Special Assistant to the former President on International Affairs/International Relations.

I believe his resignation had to do with the gun runner who was arrested in a second floor suite of the NLC building.

Either by direct omission or commission, this man did not do his job properly to the best of his abilities and oath of loyalty he took when assuming office.

COMRADES are speechless at this sudden resignation

You're not good in the first place because you were installed by Buhari, even the one that Tinubu will appoint won't be good/ competent either

Re: I resigned due to some "not too serious family issues" - Abubakar (Ex-NIA DG) by Cmanforall:
Noted



shocked shocked shocked 7 Years as DG of NIA? shocked shocked shocked

And yet there's still increasing cases of terrorism, kidnapping and banditry?

This man should have been sacked since!!!
Or resigned

Tinubu need to put someone he trusts to head this agency. A fearless Southerner who would likely expose those behind these crimes

Someone who was there when it happened had spoken. SMH!

Everyone can't be a stooge. When our own senators deceived us about their monthly take home after voting them into power, the godfearing ones among them spoke out and debunked their claim. Good and sensible leaders still exist in Nigeria of today.

Adult lieing. The président simply ask you to resign instead of being sacked and embarrassed

In Nigeria? It means someone is exercising his authority, at least.

His job is not connected to internal security

There are certain sensitive positions you don't sack the heads any how .

Any way, his sack or resignation won't in any way make Peter Obi president now or never.
