Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has resigned from President Bola Tinubuās cabinet to pursue the Bauchi State governorship in the 2027 elections.
The Ministry confirmed the resignation on Monday through its spokesperson, Kimiebi Ebienfa.
GISTSMATE MEDIA gathered that Tuggar submitted his resignation letter to the President shortly after noon and intends to contest under the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform.
Tuggarās resignation comes following a presidential directive issued earlier in March.
The order, communicated through the office of Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, required all political appointees seeking elective positions to resign by March 31, 2026.
The directive applies to ministers, ministers of state, special advisers, senior special assistants, special assistants, personal assistants, and heads of federal agencies.
It is in line with Section 88(1) of the Electoral Act, 2026, and is aimed at preventing conflicts of interest as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 elections.
