The deputy governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has resigned.
His resignation was announced on Friday by the Kwankwasiyya Movement in a statement by its spokesperson, Dr. Habibu Mohammed.
The movement described the decision as a difficult but necessary one taken in the interest of governance and stability.
The statement reads in part: “The Kwankwasiyya Movement wishes to formally inform the general public that the deputy governor of Kano State has tendered his resignation from office, effective later today.”
The statement reads further: “This decision, though difficult, has been taken in the overall interest of the people and the stability of governance in Kano state.
“Recent circumstances have constrained the full realisation of the benefits and responsibilities attached to the office.”
The movement said that the resignation had nothing to do with an admission of guilt over allegations raised by the Kano State House of Assembly in its impeachment procedure.
“The deputy governor maintains his innocence,” it said.
“Rather, this step is a demonstration of statesmanship and a commitment to peace, political maturity, and the avoidance of unnecessary tension,” it added.
The movement said Gwarzo would work to strengthen the Kwankwasiyya Movement ahead of the 2027 general elections.
