In a major political shake-up that could reshape the future of Kano State politics, the Deputy Governor of Kano State has resigned from office, citing the need to protect governance stability and ensure the smooth functioning of leadership.

The announcement was made in an official press statement released by the Kwankwasiyya Movement and signed by its spokesperson, Dr. Habibu Sale Mohammed.

According to the statement, the decision—described as both difficult and necessary—was taken in the best interest of the people of Kano State, following circumstances that reportedly constrained the Deputy Governor from fully carrying out the responsibilities of his office.

The movement stressed that the resignation should not be interpreted as an admission of guilt over allegations raised by the Kano State House of Assembly. The Deputy Governor, it said, maintains his innocence and stands by his record of public service, describing it as evidence of his integrity and commitment.

“This step reflects statesmanship and a commitment to peace, political maturity, and the avoidance of unnecessary tensions that could hinder governance and development in Kano State,” the statement noted.

In a move that signals early positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Kwankwasiyya Movement disclosed that the former Deputy Governor will now focus on strengthening the movement’s structure, rebuilding strategies, and engaging in key political realignments.

The move is aimed at consolidating the movement’s vision of people-oriented leadership, social justice, and sustainable development.

Supporters and residents of Kano State have been urged to remain calm, law-abiding, and committed to democratic values as the political situation continues to evolve.

Political observers say the resignation could trigger fresh alignments and power negotiations in Kano, potentially influencing the broader national political landscape ahead of 2027.

Further details are expected in the coming days.
