A former Minister of Environment under President Muhammadu Buhari, Mohammed Hassan Abdullahi, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Abdullahi, who was initially appointed as Minister of State for Science and Technology before being redeployed as the substantive Minister of Environment, announced his resignation in a letter dated June 1.
The letter, addressed to the APC chairman in his Uke ward, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, and copied to other party officials, cited personal reasons for his decision to leave the ruling party.
He expressed appreciation to the party chairman for the support and cooperation extended to him during his time in the APC, noting that they made modest contributions to the growth of the party in the state.
“I wish you and the party good luck,” the letter added.
Abdullahi had served a Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of Nasarawa State during the administration of Senator Abdullahi Adamu and SSG during Senator Umar Tanko Al-Makura’s administration.
