Ex-Kano deputy gov Gwarzo dumps ADC

Aminu Gwarzo, former Deputy Governor of Kano State, has officially resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Gwarzo made the announcement through a resignation letter dated May 1, 2026, addressed to the Chairman of the ADC in Gwarzo Local Government Area, Kano State.

In the letter, the former deputy governor said his resignation took immediate effect.

He attributed his decision to recent political developments and the need to review his membership of the party in line with his political vision.

“The decision comes after deep reflection and wide consultations with my political associates, supporters and well-wishers across the state,” he said.

Gwarzo added that the evolving political landscape made it necessary for him to chart a new course.

“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,” he stated.

He explained that his action was driven by what he described as patriotic considerations and the desire to pursue a political path that aligns with his ideals.

“My decision is informed by patriotic considerations 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,” he added.

The former deputy governor, however, thanked the leadership and members of the party for the support he received during his stay.

“I wish to sincerely appreciate the leadership and members of the party for the cooperation, respect and support I received during my stay in the party,” he said.

Gwarzo did not disclose his next political move as of the time of filing this report, but his resignation may be connected to the ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections
