Madawaki confirmed his resignation during a phone interview with Channels Television on Monday.
He said his decision was guided by political principles, insisting that he remains a committed member of the PDP and has no intention of joining the APC.
According to him, “I only resigned because the governor is joining the APC. I’m a PDP member, I’ve never been an APC member and I’m not ready to be an APC member.”
He dismissed suggestions that he was forced out of office, stressing that his exit was entirely voluntary.
“The governor has never forced anyone to resign. Even during the stakeholders’ meeting, he clearly stated that nobody would be compelled to join the party,” he added, noting that his resignation was, in his view, the honorable thing to do.
Governor Lawal has since accepted the resignation.
The Secretary to the Zamfara State Government, Malam Abubakar Mohammad Nakwada, announced that the Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Abdulmalik Abubakar Gajam, has been assigned to oversee the Ministry of Education in an acting capacity.
He expressed confidence that Gajam would maintain stability and continuity in the education sector, while also thanking Madawaki for his service and wishing him success in his future endeavors.
Earlier, on March 9, Governor Lawal announced his decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress.
According to his media aide, Nuhu Anka, the decision followed wide consultations with political stakeholders, leaders, elders, and supporters across the state.
He explained that the move was taken in the interest of stability, progress, and development in Zamfara State, following prolonged internal crises and leadership disputes within the PDP at both state and national levels.
The governor also said the decision to align with a party that fosters cooperation with the federal government would enhance security and accelerate development in the state, ultimately benefiting the people of Zamfara.
