Kano — The Kano State Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has resigned from office, saying his decision was guided by responsibility and statesmanship, and not an admission of any wrongdoing.

In a resignation letter addressed to Governor Abba Yusuf and made available to journalists, Gwarzo stated that he voluntarily stepped down to allow the government and the state to move forward without distractions.

I, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, the Deputy Governor of Kano State, hereby tender my voluntary resignation from office, with effect from 27th March 2026, pursuant to Section 306 (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).

Gwarzo added, “In view of the prevailing circumstances, I have taken this step in the spirit of responsibility and statesmanship, to allow the government and the State to move forward without undue distractions. This resignation is made voluntarily and in good faith. It should not be construed as an admission of any wrongdoing, but rather as a conscious decision in the interest of institutional integrity, democratic values, and public service.”
