This is a very remarkable step as Nigerians or Africans in general don't leave a post or resign until they are pushed ,dragged and kicked out of the door1 Dikko Abdullahi probably got an
inkling that he was next and decided to leave when the ovation was loudest. Definitely with his cryptic statement below,he knew his time was up.
Speaking to pressmen after his meting with the president, he said
The time I’m leaving is the time I feel those young ones that have developed the software can come up and manage the software. So that is basically the reason and I’m sending out this signal to all those who have stayed put. ”Don’t stay until you are asked you to go. When you feel you have done so much and you believe in the system you have built, then why do you stay? Why don’t you be an umpire? Leave, be by the side and watch and advise”.
