Bauchi State Deputy Governor, Senator Baba Tela has declared that he has not resigned from office stating that, “I am still in my office as the Deputy Governor of Bauchi State”.
Baba Tela was reacting to publication in the social media that he has resigned as the Deputy Governor of Bauchi State.
In a press release issued late Thursday evening by the Press Secretary in the Deputy Governor’s office, Sani Mu’azu Ilellah, the Deputy Governor denied the story.
The release contained that, “The attention of the Deputy Governor Bauchi State Sen. Baba Tela has been drawn to a fake news on social media to the effect that, the Deputy Governor has resigned his position. The statement/report on the social media is a figment of the imagination of the writer”.
It further contained that, “For the avoidance of doubt, we would like to assure the peace loving and hard-working people of Bauchi State, in particular and the Nation in general, that Sen. Bala Tela has not resigned as the Deputy Governor of Bauchi State” .
“His Excellency, the Deputy Governor, remains committed to the objectives and ideas of the Government of Bauchi State under the able leadership of His Excellency, Sen. Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed”, the statement stated further.
While reiterating his support and loyalty to the Governor, rumour mongers who are bent on causing disharmony in the state are warned to desist from such acts.
