Islamic singer and cleric, Ibraheem Abdulhameed, popularly known as Labaeka, who doubles as the Special Assistant on Artiste Matters to the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has resigned
He says he was not given a definite assignment, and he has been unable to utilize his office.
He says though he has been receiving salary since assuming office in 2023, but he wants the salaries to stop, as he can’t continue to get paid, for doing NOTHING.

Breaking the news today on his official Instagram page, he apologised to the Governor, but emphasised, the needful must be done.
The letter in full;

“I am writing this letter with all sense of humility and gratitude for giving me the opportunity to serve as the Special Assistant, Artiste, in your cabinet. Having served in this capacity for a period of 1 year and 7 months. I wish to respectfully tender my resignation.

“Your Excellency, as you may recall, I was offered an appointment to serve as your Special Assistant, Artist, on 6th January 2023. I accepted the offer because I saw it as a call to service and an opportunity to showcase my talents. Regrettably, I have not been able to achieve any of these things. Aside from the fact that I don’t have a specific schedule of duty, circumstances have not availed me the opportunity to perform my responsibilities maximally.

“Therefore, since my appointment is based on public trust. I cannot continue to break that trust by taking a salary for doing nothing. As an Islamic cleric. it is against my beliefs, and I haven’t been at peace with myself.

“So I want my salary to stop immediately. I am grateful for the confidence reposed in me. and I hope that one day. I will be able to fully utilize my talents for the development of our state.”
