The Kano State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Waiya, has advised Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam to resign from his position following the political realignment in the state. Governor Yusuf defected with the majority of his cabinet members, 22 members of the State House of Assembly and nine members of the House of Representatives. Mr Waiya acknowledged that the final decision rests solely with the deputy governor, but he drew a direct comparison to the commissioners who stepped down. But if I were in his shoes, I would have resigned honorably,” Mr Waiya added. As of now, the deputy governor has yet to issue a formal statement regarding his political future or his standing within the current administration.
