Khadija Ibrahim, Foreign Affairs Minister, Resigns

Khadija Ibrahim has resigned her appointment as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

Mrs Ibrahim resigned to contest the February 16 House of Representatives election in her home-state of Yobe.

The wife of former Governor of Yobe State, Bukar Abba-Ibrahim, is contesting the Damaturu/Tarmuwa/Gujba/Gulani Federal Constituency seat.

Recall that she had last year contested against and defeated her son-in law, Mohammed Bukar-Ibrahim, to pick the ticket of the All Progressives Congress in October 2018.
