The Borno State Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation Mr Nuhu Clark has resigned from office to contest the Chibok State Constituency election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Clark told reporters in Maiduguri yesterday that his decision was to ensure quality representation for the people of Chibok.
Clark, who served as the Chairman of Chibok Local Government in 1999, said he was still connected to his people and that his project remained the people’s project.
He praised Governor Babagana Zulum for giving him the opportunity to serve as a commissioner, adding that his experience as former council chairman, state youth leader and adviser would be brought to bear when he emerges as a lawmaker.
Also, the Commissioner for Agriculture Bukar Talba has equally resigned.
Talba is aspiring to contest Nganzai/Monguno/Marte Federal Constituency on the platform of the APC.
There are also unconfirmed reports that more than 10 Special Advisers to the governor have tendered their resignations.
