Ahmed Abubakar, the Director General of the Nigeria Intelligence Agency, has reportedly thrown in the towel, submitting his resignation letter to President Bola Tinubu. The surprising move was revealed by the Nigerian Television Authority, which reported that Abubakar handed in his resignation on Saturday.
As of now, the reasons behind Abubakar’s sudden departure remain shrouded in mystery. Neither the Director General nor the Presidency has offered any explanations for this abrupt exit, leaving the public in the dark and speculating about the possible causes.
The silence from the Presidency is deafening. One might expect some form of clarification on such a high-profile resignation, but so far, there has been nothing but a wall of silence.
Could it be a disagreement with President Tinubu, or perhaps something more sinister? Until we hear more, all we have are questions. The nation’s intelligence community is left hanging, and so are we.
