The Kwankwasiyya Movement has said that the embattled Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, tendered his resignation from office on Friday.

This decision, according to Habibu Muhammad Mailemo, “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 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 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.

He said, 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.”

“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.”
