KARACHI: Muhammad Zubair stepped down from the post of Sindh governor on Saturday.
While speaking to Geo News, he shared that he has sent his resignation to President Mamnoon Hussain earlier in the day.
"I have served the position as per my constitutional obligations," he added.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had picked Muhammad Zubair for this post on January 30.
Since 2012, he had served in various capacities, with the most recent one being the chairman of the Privatisation Commission.
