Senate President Saraki's Chief of Staff Resigns
Senator Isa
Galaudu, the Chief of Staff to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki has
resigned, Daily Trust reliably gathered last night.
Galaudu's
resignation came days after Saraki issued a memo notifying his over 112
aides of plan to relieve them of their appointments. Multiple sources at
the Senate President's Office yesterday confirmed the resignation of
Galaudu who was appointed on June 23, 2015.
One of the sources said Galaudu who was a member of the seventh Senate resigned without stating any reasons.
"Oga resigned today but he didn't tell us the reason for doing so. He only said it's on a personal ground," the source said.
Efforts to get
Galaudu's comment on the resignation yielded no result as he neither
answered his calls nor replied to the text message sent to his phone
number. But a source close to him told Daily Trust yesterday that the
Chief of Staff had informed Saraki about his plans to quit the job this
January over four months ago and that the Senate President accepted.
The source said
Galaudu's decision was purely based on personal reasons and not as a
result of any fall-out with Saraki, saying the former senator wants to
pursue some "non-political ambition."
Contacted the
Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Yusuph
Olaniyonu said he was unaware of Galaudu's resignation.
