Why Kano Deputy Governor Should Resign – Commissioner
The Kano State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Waiya, has said the Deputy Governor, Aminu Gwarzo, should resign following his decision not to defect to the All Progressives Congress with Governor Abba Yusuf.
Channels TV reports that Waiya stated this while speaking with journalists in Kano on Thursday, stressing that effective governance is built on trust, loyalty and mutual confidence among members of the executive council.
According to him, it would be inappropriate for a deputy governor who no longer shares political alignment with the governor to continue participating in key government meetings.
“This is his personal decision, but there is no way someone who is no longer with you should be part of the routine council meeting.
“Who knows with whom he might share important government secrets? In government, things are done based on trust, and you can’t trust someone who is not with you,” the commissioner said.
The commissioner added that stepping down would be the most honourable option available to the deputy governor.
“If I were him, I would humbly resign,” he stated.
