March 27, (THEWILL) — Kano State Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, has resigned his position.
This is according to a statement issued by the Kwankwasiyya Movement.
“The Kwankwasiyya Movement wishes to formally inform the general public, the good people of Kano State, and the entire nation that the Deputy Governor of Kano State has tendered his resignation from office later today,” the group said in the statement signed by its spokesperson, Dr.Habibu Sale Mohammed.
Mohammed said the decision, though difficult, was 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,” the statement added in part.
