Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, has resigned from the cabinet of President Bola Tinubu.
The development was disclosed on Monday by former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad in a post on X, stating that Tuggar had stepped down from his position to pursue his political ambition.
According to Ahmad, the minister is expected to formally bid farewell to the Federal Executive Council (FEC), where his resignation letter is likely to be presented.
Tuggar is reportedly preparing to contest the Bauchi State governorship election in 2027.
“The Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, will bid farewell to the Federal Executive Council today as he steps down from his position to pursue the governorship of Bauchi State,” Ahmad wrote.
As of the time of filing this report, Tuggar has yet to issue an official statement confirming his resignation.
His exit comes just hours before the deadline set by President Tinubu, directing all political appointees seeking elective offices in the 2027 general elections to resign on or before March 31, 2026.
