The Kwankwasiyya Movement has said that the state’s battled Deputy Governor of Kano, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, tendered his resignation from office late Friday.

The spokesperson of Kwankwasiyya Movement media team, Habibu Muhammad Mailemo, Phd, said; “the decision, though difficult, 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.

“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.”
