A former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing recent shifts in the political landscape.
Gwarzo confirmed his resignation in a letter dated May 1, 2026, addressed to the party chairman in Gwarzo Local Government Area, stating that the decision takes immediate effect.
“The decision follows careful thought and consultations with my associates, supporters, and well-wishers across the state,” he said.
He attributed his exit to evolving political developments, noting that the changing climate necessitated a reassessment of his party affiliation.
“The changing political climate has made it necessary for me to reassess my membership in the interest of the people and the future of our state and country,” he stated.
Gwarzo added that his decision was guided by his commitment to public service, democratic values, and sustainable development.
“My decision is based on patriotic reasons and the need to follow a political direction that reflects my vision for good governance, democratic principles, and sustainable development,” he said.
He also expressed appreciation to the party’s leadership and members for their support during his time in the ADC.
“I sincerely thank the leadership and members of the party for their cooperation, respect, and support,” he added.
Gwarzo did not disclose his next political move, though observers say his resignation may be linked to ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
