Aminu Gwarzo has resigned his position as the deputy governor of Kano state.
Ibrahim Shuaibu, Gwarzo’s chief press secretary, confirmed
the resignation to TheCable on Friday evening.
Earlier this month, the Kano state house of assembly
commenced impeachment proceedings against Gwarzo over alleged gross misconduct,
abuse of office, breach of public trust, and financial malfeasance.
Lawan Dala, the majority leader of the assembly, who read
the notice of impeachment against Gwarzo during plenary on March 5, claimed
that while serving as commissioner for local government, the chieftain of the
New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) “wilfully participated in the diversion of
funds allocated to local government administrations for purposes other than
those for which they were appropriated”.
In February, the Kano state legislature denied reports of
plots to impeach Gwarzo over his alleged refusal to join the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
Abba Yusuf, the governor of Kano, members of his cabinet,
and the state lawmakers defected from the NNPP to the APC in January.
