Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo has officially resigned as the Deputy Governor of Kano State, with his resignation taking effect on March 27, 2026. This decision comes in the wake of an impeachment plot against him by the Kano State House of Assembly, highlighting the escalating political tensions within the state.

In a letter addressed to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Gwarzo stated, “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.” He emphasized that his resignation should not be interpreted as an admission of guilt, asserting, “This resignation is made voluntarily and should not be construed as an admission of any wrongdoing, but a decision in the interest of public service.”

The Kwankwasiyya Movement, which Gwarzo is affiliated with, described the resignation as a necessary decision for the stability of governance in Kano State. They stated, “This decision, though difficult, has been taken in the overall interest of the people and the stability of governance in Kano State.” Following the resignation, the movement urged its supporters to remain calm.

Gwarzo expressed gratitude to the people of Kano State and key stakeholders for their support during his tenure, indicating a desire to focus on strengthening the Kwankwasiyya Movement ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The resignation aligns with Section 306 (2) of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, which outlines the procedures for such actions. Observers anticipate that Gwarzo’s departure will trigger political consultations regarding his replacement, as the state navigates through this period of uncertainty.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the immediate implications of his resignation on the current political landscape in Kano State, particularly concerning the ongoing tensions with the Kano State House of Assembly.
