Kano Governor Considers Impeaching Deputy Over Alleged Loyalty to Kwankwaso Movement
Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf is reportedly considering the impeachment of his deputy, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, if Gwarzo does not resign. Gwarzo's allegiance to Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso's movement has led to intense political scrutiny.
Governor Yusuf's decision to join the APC triggered defections, including from 22 members of the Kano State House of Assembly and eight members of the House of Representatives. Despite defections, some government officials, including the deputy governor and heads of commissions, remain aligned with Kwankwaso.
Plans to impeach the deputy governor may be initiated if he refuses to resign, with political analysts suggesting that Gwarzo's fate depends on his conduct in the coming weeks. The situation remains tense, with officials maintaining a low profile to avoid escalating tensions.
