A former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has stepped down from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing shifts in the political landscape.
Gwarzo confirmed his resignation in a letter dated May 1, 2026, addressed to the party chairman in his local government area, noting that the decision takes immediate effect.
He said the move followed wide consultations with associates, supporters, and stakeholders across the state. According to him, recent developments in the political environment made it necessary to reconsider his continued membership in the party.
The former deputy governor explained that his decision was driven by his commitment to public service, democratic values, and sustainable development, adding that he intends to align with a political direction that reflects those priorities.
He also expressed gratitude to the ADC leadership and members for their support during his time in the party.
Gwarzo did not disclose his next political move, although observers link his resignation to ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
