The Zamfara State Commissioner for Women and Children has confirmed that she has resigned her position as Commissioner and member of Zamfara State Executive Council.

This is contained in a statement copied from her Facebook page as part of her reaction to the feature story by Thunder Blowers titled “the many rumors of Gimbiyar Shinkafi resigning as Zamfara Commissioner”.

But she denied the assertions made by some people in the feature story made by Thunder Blowers that she has resigned due to some friction between her ministry and the office of the first lady.

“The truth is that I actually resigned my appointment as a Commissioner in Zamfara State but not for the reasons that are completely untrue as stated by them”.
But she confirmed the other assertion made by some people in our story that she has resigned to pick another appointment as Commissioner from Imo State.

“I was actually appointed a Commissioner by my State Governor by birth Senator Hope Uzodinma almost the same time my State Governor by marriage Hon Dr Bello Matawalle Maradun also appointed me a Commissioner in Zamfara State. Don’t forget that prior to that, I was already serving under the government of His Excellency Governor Bello Matawalle Maradun as a Special Adviser on Investment and Public Private Partnership”.

She went further to say “I decided to pick Zamfara Commissioner offer against that of Imo because of my close relationship with His Excellency Governor Bello Matawalle and his wife, Zamfara State First Lady Hajia Aisha Bello Matawalle who I both see as my family, and I have enjoyed a lot of their good will and benevolence over the years. Infact they have always been my benefactors, and I am eternally grateful to them”.

According to Gimbiyar Shinkafi “the real reason I resigned my appointment as a Commissioner in Zamfara State is never connected to any ill feeling or dissatisfaction of any kind on the part of His Excellency the Governor who has treated me favorably, or on the part of Her Excellency the First Lady who has been absolutely wonderful to me”.

I resigned my Zamfara appointment because my father His Royal Highness the oldest Monarch in Imo State and the Imo State Governor Senator Hope Uzodinma who is also quite close to His Excellency Governor Bello Matawalle as a fellow APC governor pleaded with me to serve in Imo State, however I kept His Excellency Governor Bello Matawalle in the picture from the onset. infact both Governor Hope Uzodinma and Governor Bello Matawalle discussed it at a certain stage”.

“I had to resign as I cannot be Commissioner in two States at the same time” she added.

“Governor Bello Matawalle is a brother, I have a lot of respect and regards for him and I thank him and his wife the First Lady immensely for the several opportunities they gave me to serve in different capacities”.

“ Zamfara is home to me and will always be home and despite my resignation, I still wish to continue to serving in Zamfara State and as a result i am still pleading with my father His Royal Highness and my Governor to oblige me”.
