Former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) one month after joining the party from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Gwarzo, an ally of former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, quit the ADC on May 1, according to his resignation letter addressed to the Chairman of the ADC ward in Gwarzo LGA.

The ex-deputy governor said his decision comes after deep reflection and wide consultations with his political associates, supporters, and well-wishers across the state.

He said, “Recent political developments and the evolving political landscape have made it necessary for me to review my membership in the interest of the people and the future of our state and the nation.

“My decision is informed by patriotic consideration and the need to pursue a political path that aligns with my vision for good governance, democratic values, and sustainable development of our dear state.”

Gwarzo did not disclose his next political destination.

SunOnline reports that the development comes days after Kwankwaso and his political ally, Peter Obi left the ADC and joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
