Kwara SA Resigns, Says ‘I Can’t Keep Collecting Salary Without Working’

Alhaji Ibraheem Abdulhameed, the Special Assistant on Artiste Matters to Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has resigned.

Abdulhameed, a popular Islamic cleric and singer, known as Labaeka, in his resignation letter dated September 12, 2024, expressed frustration with the role, citing a lack of clear duties and opportunities to perform his responsibilities.

He said, “I am writing this letter with all sense of humility and gratitude for giving me the opportunity to serve as the Special Assistant, Artiste, in your cabinet.

“Having served in this capacity for a period of 1 year and 7 months, I wish to respectfully tender my resignation.”

Abdulhameed continued, “Your Excellency, as you may recall, I was offered an appointment to serve as your Special Assistant Artist on 6th January 2023. I accepted the offer because I saw it as a call to service and an opportunity to showcase my talents. Regrettably, I have not been able to achieve any of these things. Aside from the fact that I don’t have a specific schedule of duty, circumstances have not availed me the opportunity to perform my responsibilities maximally.”

He added, “Since my appointment is based on public trust, I cannot continue to break that trust by taking a salary for doing nothing. As an Islamic cleric, it is against my beliefs, and I haven’t been at peace with myself. So, I want my salary to be stopped immediately.”
