Kano Deputy Governor, Aminu Gwarzo resigns amid impeachment plot
The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has resigned from office amid reports of an ongoing impeachment plot against him.
Sources within the state government revealed that the resignation followed mounting political pressure and growing tensions between the deputy governor and key stakeholders in the administration. The situation had reportedly escalated in recent days, with indications that members of the State House of Assembly were preparing grounds for his impeachment.
Although the exact reasons behind the fallout remain unclear, insiders suggest that disagreements over governance issues and internal political dynamics may have contributed to the crisis.
Gwarzo’s resignation is seen as a strategic move to avoid a full impeachment process, which could have further deepened political instability within the state government.
As of the time of filing this report, the Kano State Government has yet to issue an official statement detailing the circumstances surrounding the resignation or the next line of action.
Political observers say the development could reshape the power structure within the state and may have implications for future political alignments in Kano.
