KANO, Nigeria – The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, resigns amid mounting political tension and legislative scrutiny.
His spokesperson Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu confirms the development on Friday but offers no details.
“Yes, it is true. The Deputy Governor has resigned,” he says.
The resignation follows allegations raised by the Kano State House of Assembly concerning misconduct and performance.
It also comes after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s recent political realignment, which triggered administrative changes.
Analysts say the move may be linked to broader restructuring within the government.
Gwarzo’s exit activates constitutional procedures for appointing a replacement, subject to legislative approval.
Observers warn the development could reshape Kano’s political dynamics ahead of future elections.
