Ibraheem Labaeka, a popular Islamic singer, has resigned from his position as Special Assistant to Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. In a letter dated September 12, 2024, Labaeka expressed his dissatisfaction with the role he was assigned and stated that his conscience does not allow him to stay in a job where his contributions are not necessary.
Labaeka explained that he believes in being purposeful and impactful in whatever he does, and unfortunately, this position did not align with his principles. He appreciated the governor for the opportunity to serve in his cabinet but noted that since his appointment is based on public trust, he cannot continue to break that trust by taking a salary for doing nothing.
