BREAKING: Kano Deputy Gov Abdulsalam Gwarzo resigns from office
The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Abdulsalam Gwarzo, has reportedly stepped down from his position, according to a statement from the Kwankwasiyya Movement.
The state government has not yet officially confirmed the development.
The statement, signed by the group’s spokesperson, Habibu Sale Mohammed, said the decision was made after careful consideration and aimed at preserving stability in the state’s governance.
It explained that prevailing circumstances had made it difficult for the deputy governor to effectively carry out the full scope of his duties.
“This decision, though difficult, has been taken in the overall interest of the people and the stability of governance in Kano State,” the statement said.
The development follows allegations levelled against the deputy governor by the Kano State House of Assembly.
However, the movement stressed that his resignation should not be interpreted as an acceptance of any wrongdoing.
“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,” the statement added.
The group also disclosed that the former deputy governor intends to channel his efforts into strengthening the Kwankwasiyya Movement, with a focus on restructuring and strategic positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections.
As at the time of filing this report, there has been no official confirmation or reaction from the Kano State government regarding the reported resignation.
