Deputy Governor Under Fire as Kano Commissioner Calls for Exit

A senior Kano State official has called on the deputy governor to step down following political differences arising from recent party realignments in the state.

The commissioner argued that effective governance depends on loyalty, trust, and shared political direction, warning that continued participation in executive decision-making without alignment undermines confidentiality and cohesion within government.

He stated that once a deputy governor no longer shares the political platform of the governor, remaining in office becomes incompatible with collective responsibility. According to him, resignation would be the most honourable option under such circumstances.

The comments come amid broader political shifts in Kano State, with the governor’s recent move to a new political party described by officials as a strategic decision aimed at attracting greater federal support and development projects.

The commissioner reassured residents that the state government remains committed to stability and dialogue, particularly in addressing lingering political and traditional disputes, while ensuring governance continues without disruption.
