The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has resigned from office following mounting political pressure and allegations raised by the Kano State House of Assembly.
In a statement released by the Kwankwasiyya Movement, the resignation was described as a difficult but necessary step taken in the interest of governance stability in the state. The group noted that recent developments had limited Gwarzo’s ability to effectively carry out his duties.
Despite stepping down, Gwarzo denied any wrongdoing, insisting that his resignation should not be interpreted as an admission of the allegations against him. He maintained that his record in public service reflects integrity and commitment.
The decision is also seen as a move to ease political tension, as the Kano State House of Assembly had initiated impeachment proceedings over claims of misconduct.
Going forward, Gwarzo is expected to focus on strengthening the Kwankwasiyya Movement and engaging in political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Supporters have been urged to remain calm as the political situation in the state continues to evolve.
