The Kano State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Waiya, has advised the deputy governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, to resign following his decision not to defect alongside Governor Abba Yusuf to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking to journalists in Kano on Thursday, Waiya stressed that governance is built on loyalty and mutual confidence, describing continued participation in executive affairs as incompatible with trust and confidentiality. In government, things are done based on trust, and you can’t trust someone who is not with you.”Waiya added that, in his view, resignation would be the most honourable course of action for the deputy governor. The commissioner’s comments come amid wider political developments in the state, including Governor Yusuf’s recent defection to the APC from the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP). “The administration remains focused on ensuring that political differences do not disrupt governance or undermine the collective interests of the people of Kano State,” Waiya said.
