There is growing uncertainty in Kano State following reports that Deputy Governor Abdulsalam Gwarzo has stepped down from office.
The development was announced by the Kwankwasiyya Movement, which said the decision was taken to maintain stability in the state’s governance amid ongoing political pressure.
However, the Kano State Government has yet to officially confirm the resignation, raising questions about the current status of the deputy governor.
The reported move comes in the wake of allegations by the State House of Assembly, although the political group insisted that Gwarzo’s decision does not amount to an admission of wrongdoing.
Sources indicate the development may be linked to broader political calculations ahead of the 2027 general elections, with Gwarzo expected to focus on strengthening the Kwankwasiyya Movement.
As of the time of filing this report, there is no formal communication from the state government, leaving the situation fluid and subject to further updates.
