Islamic singer, Ibraheem Labaeka has stepped down from his role as Special Assistant to Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
In a resignation letter dated Thursday, September 12, 2024, Labaeka explained that he was leaving the position because he felt uncomfortable receiving a salary without meaningful work to do.
He expressed dissatisfaction with the responsibilities he had been given, saying that his conscience would not let him remain in a job where his contributions were not needed.
The singer further explained, “I believe in being purposeful and impactful in whatever I do, and unfortunately, this position did not align with my principles.”
While appreciating the governor for the opportunity to serve in his cabinet, he noted, “Since my appointment is based on public trust, I cannot continue to break that trust by taking a salary for doing nothing.”
