Unraveling the Whirlwind Surrounding Niger State's Deputy Governor, Yakubu Garba
Uncertainty Prevails Over Claimed Resignation of Niger State Deputy Governor, Yakubu Garba
In the midst of lingering speculation and misinformation, the fate of Niger State's Deputy Governor, Yakubu Garba, remains unclear.
Over the past few days, whispers have circulated that Garba may have tendered his resignation or even vacated his official residence. However, these claims have been vehemently denied by Garba's spokesperson, Ummikhultume Abdullahi, who asserts that the Deputy Governor continues to carry out his duties from his official residence near the Government House in Minna.
Yet, reports from unnamed sources within the state government suggest a tumultuous relationship between Garba and Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago. This political tension is said to have escalated recently due to a disagreement over the choice of candidate for the Shiroro Local Government Area (LGA) in forthcoming local government elections.
Adding to the intrigue, there have been conflicting reports about Garba's whereabouts. Some claim to have seen reduced activity in and around his official residence, raising questions about his absence. On the other hand, Abdullahi has emphasized that Garba is still very much in office.
Despite the denials, the rumors of Garba's resignation continue to thrive, fueled by the absence of any formal confirmation or resignation letter. The Deputy Governor's office has categorically dismissed these rumors as misinformation, imploring the public to disregard them.
Interestingly, both Garba and Bago attended a high-profile event together at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) International Airport in Minna last week, followed by Bago's trip to Russia. Sources, however, hint that the camaraderie displayed publicly may be nothing more than a facade, suggesting that the political alliance between the two leaders might be shallower than it appears.
One insider confided: “The relationship between Governor Bago and Deputy Governor Garba is somewhat cosmetic. There are speculations that Garba may soon resign and leave office more honorably.”
As of April 28–29, 2025, no official confirmation of Garba's resignation has been made. Amidst the uncertainty, only time will reveal the truth about thedoings and whereabouts of the Deputy Governor of Niger State, Yakubu Garba.
In the meantime, it's essential to question the authenticity of rumors before they spread. Remember, there is no smoke without fire, but sometimes there's just a lot of smoke.
