Friday, January 30, 2026 - The Kwankwasiyya Movement has strongly condemned the reported call for the resignation of Kano State Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, describing it as “unwarranted and unfortunate.”
The criticism follows
comments allegedly made by the State Commissioner for Information and Internal
Affairs, Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, suggesting that
Gwarzo should step down from office.
In a statement issued on Thursday and signed by Hon. Habibu
Saleh Mailemo, spokesperson for the Kwankwasiyya Media Team, the group insisted
that the deputy governor’s mandate was derived from the electorate, not subject
to any individual’s discretion.
“The Deputy Governor was elected on a joint ticket and has a
constitutional mandate from the people of Kano State. His position is not
subject to the discretion of any individual,” the statement said.
The movement warned that such calls could deepen internal
political divisions and derail the administration’s focus on service delivery.
Kwankwasiyya noted that the current administration emerged
from a broad-based political alliance, and stressed the importance of
maintaining internal cohesion, mutual respect and commitment to democratic
norms.
“We believe that the strength of any
democratic government lies in internal cohesion, mutual respect and adherence
to constitutional principles.
“All parties should remain committed to peace,
dialogue and democratic values. The interest of Kano people should remain
paramount,” the group stated.
While reaffirming its support for Deputy Governor Gwarzo,
the group called on government officials to focus on governance rather than
personal or political disagreements.
“We remain committed to constructive
engagement and the collective goal of ensuring effective governance and
development in Kano State,” it added.
