Kano Deputy Governor Bows to Pressure Ahead of Impeachment, Resigns from Office
Ahead moves by the Kano state House of Assembly to commence his impeachment, the Deputy Governor of the state, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, has tendered his resignation from office.
Gwarzo threw in the towel, on Friday evening, a statement signed by Dr Habibu Saleh Mohammed, the spokesperson for the Kwankwasiyya Movement, said.
The statement explained that although the decision was difficult to take, it was, however, taken in the overall interest of the people of the state and the stability of governance in the state.
According to the statement, “Recent circumstances have, to a considerable extent, constrained the full realisation of the benefits and responsibilities attached to the office of the deputy governor. In view of this, it has become imperative to allow the office to function optimally in the best interest of the public it is meant to serve.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, this resignation does not in any way constitute an admission of the allegations raised against him by the Kano State House of Assembly,” the statement continued.
“The deputy governor maintains his innocence and firmly believes that his records in office and public service remain a testament to his integrity and commitment to the people,” said the statement.
“Rather, this step is a demonstration of statesmanship and a commitment to peace, political maturity, and the avoidance of unnecessary tensions that may hinder governance and development in the state,” the statement held.
“The Deputy Governor has also resolved to dedicate more time and energy to the Kwankwasiyya Movement, particularly in strengthening its structures, rebuilding strategies, and engaging in critical political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“This effort is aimed at consolidating the movement’s vision of people-oriented leadership, social justice, and sustainable development.
“We urge all supporters of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and the good people of Kano State to remain calm, law-abiding, and steadfast in their support for the ideals of good governance and democracy.”
“Further details will be communicated in due course,” the statement noted.
