Kano State Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam, has officially resigned from office, a move confirmed on Friday by Dr. Habibu Sale Mohammed, spokesperson of the Kwankwasiyya Movement.
The resignation comes after the Kano State House of Assembly had initiated impeachment proceedings against him, and a Federal High Court in Kano on Wednesday declined his request to halt the process.
In a statement, the Kwankwasiyya Movement said the decision, though difficult, was made in the interest of governance stability and the people of Kano State.
The statement emphasised that the resignation does not imply any admission of wrongdoing, and Abdussalam maintains his innocence, citing his record of integrity and public service.
The movement described the resignation as an act of statesmanship, aimed at preserving peace, avoiding political tension, and allowing the office to function optimally.
Abdussalam is set to focus on strengthening the Kwankwasiyya Movement ahead of the 2027 general elections, dedicating his efforts to rebuilding party structures, refining strategies, and engaging in political realignments.
Supporters and residents of Kano State have been urged to remain calm and law-abiding, with further details expected to be communicated in due course.
