In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Gusau, capital of Zamfara, on Thursday, she confirmed that she was joining the government of Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State.
“I resigned my appointment as commissioner in Zamfara to enable me to pick another appointment as commissioner in Imo, I am immensely grateful to Gov. Bello Matawalle and his Wife, Hajiya Aisha Matawalle, for their kindness to me and for giving me the opportunity to serve Zamfara in different capacities.
“All the speculations in the social media about my resignation are completely false; it was just work of mischief-makers,’’ she said.
“The truth is that I actually resigned my appointment as a Commissioner in Zamfara State but not for the reasons that there was a friction between the first lady and myself,” she said.
“I was actually appointed a Commissioner by my State Governor by birth Senator Hope Uzodinma almost the same time my State Governor by marriage Bello Matawalle also appointed me a Commissioner in Zamfara State.
“I have a perfect and cordial relationship with the governor and his wife. I consider them as my family and they were in the picture of my going to Imo”.
