BREAKING: Kano Deputy Governor Gwarzo resigns

Kano State Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Gwarzo, has resigned amidst impeachment move against him by the State House of Assembly.

The House of Assembly had served him a notice of impeachment based on alleged financial improprieties.

The deputy governor sought the Federal High Court to issue an ex-parte order to stop the impeachment process but the court declined, directing the deputy governor’s Counsel to put the other parties in the suit on notice.

A statement signed by Dr Habibu Sale Mohammed, Spokesperson, Kwankwasiyya Movement, on Friday said the resignation is a decision, though difficult, that has been taken in the overall interest of the people and the stability of governance in Kano State.

‘’Recent circumstances have, to a considerable extent, constrained the full realization 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, ‘’the statement said.

‘’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 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.

‘’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 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.
