Khadija Ibrahim has resigned her appointment as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
Mrs Ibrahim resigned to contest the February 16 House of Representatives election in her home-state of Yobe.
The wife of former Governor of Yobe State, Bukar Abba-Ibrahim, is contesting the Damaturu/Tarmuwa/Gujba/Gulani Federal Constituency seat.
Recall that she had last year contested against and defeated her son-in law, Mohammed Bukar-Ibrahim, to pick the ticket of the All Progressives Congress in October 2018.
