Ahmed Abubakar, the Director General of the Nigeria Intelligence Agency, has reportedly tendered his resignation letter to President Tinubu.

As reported by the Nigerian Television Authority(NTA), Abubakar submitted the letter to the President on Saturday.

On his visit to the Presidential Villa, Abubakar said he visited Tinubu to “brief Mr President on issues and today is no exception.”

“After the briefing, I tendered my resignation and Mr President graciously approved and accepted the resignation.”

He said he also used the opportunity to thank Tinubu “for allowing me to serve Nigeria under his transformational leadership for an extended period of 15 months – which is very rare – to have the opportunity to serve two presidents at a stretch.”
