His resignation follows two successful terms of service, during which he expressed gratitude for the confidence placed in him by the governor and acknowledged the honor of serving in such an important role.

In his resignation letter, dated March 2, 2026, Adamu Atiku emphasized the significance of his tenure and the privilege of contributing to the development of the state. He also conveyed a commitment to remain loyal and supportive of the current administration despite stepping down from his official duties. This move is notable as it reflects the dynamics within the state's political landscape, especially considering Adamu's prominent political lineage.
