"I Can't be Taking Salaries for Doing Nothing," Labaeka Resigns, an Advisor to the Kwara State Government.

Ibraheem Labaeka, Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq's special assistant on artistic matters, has resigned from his position. Islamic singer Labaeka stated in his resignation letter dated September 12, 2024 that it goes against his beliefs as an Islamic cleric to be paid for doing nothing. For the previous 19 months, Labaeka claims that he has not been provided with a set schedule of duties and that his circumstances have prevented him from carrying out his tasks to the fullest extent possible. The letter says as follows: "With deep humility and appreciation, I am writing to express my thanks for allowing me to work in your cabinet as the Special Assistant, Artiste. "After one year and seven months of service in this capacity, I humbly submit my resignation." "Your Excellency, as you may remember, on January 6, 2023, I received an appointment to work as your Special Assistant, Artist. I saw the offer as a chance to demonstrate my abilities and a call to duty, so I took it. Sadly, I haven't been able to accomplish any of these goals. Apart from the fact that I work without a set schedule, I have not had the chance to carry out my duties to the best of my abilities due to circumstances. "I cannot continue to betray the public's trust by accepting a salary for doing nothing, as my appointment is predicated on that trust." "As a cleric of Islam. I haven't felt at peace with myself, and it goes against my ideals. Thus, I demand that my pay be discontinued right away," he declared. "I am appreciative of the trust placed in me, and I hope to one day fully utilize my talents for the advancement of our state."
