Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Citizen Bloc’s MP Ali Shubar assured that “The resignation of Baghdad Mayor, Sabir al-Esawi, came after practicing huge pressures by certain political sides on Esawi.”

In a statement to Iraqi News, he said “The post of Baghdad Mayor is a merit for the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council, but speaking about Esawi’s replacement is too early because we are surprised for his resignation although many blocs supported him to stay in his post.”

“Some political sides insisted to have Esawi resign and fought his performance heavily although Esawi has presented a lot of services for the Iraqi Capital and managed to refresh the situation in the Capital Baghdad,” MP Shubar added, noting that “Esawi is supposed to remain in his post to accomplish the projects he started.”

Earlier, the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki, has approved on the Mayor of Baghdad, Sabir al-Esawi’s resignation on Saturday.
