The Kano State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, has asked the Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, to resign his position if he can no longer align politically with Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. The commissioner argued that political divergence at the highest level of government could undermine trust and effective governance, especially given the deputy governor’s role as Commissioner for Higher Education. “What we are hoping for, just as we saw with some commissioners who felt uncomfortable and resigned, is that the deputy governor should also take an honourable step if he is no longer on the same political path with the governor,” Waiya said. Waiya suggested that political ambition could be influencing the deputy governor’s position, noting that Kano politics remains highly competitive. The commissioner stressed that the decision ultimately rests with the deputy governor, acknowledging that remaining in office is a personal choice.
