I’m surprised to see a lot of young people at the APC convention yesterday, I thought only old people supports APC according to the tl noisemakers. Good to see that young people are optimistic about the future and will do everything to make it work. And kudos to the APC for a well coordinated and successful convention yesterday. We move 👌

The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has resigned

His spokesperson, Ibrahim Shuaibu, confirmed the development to The PUNCH on Friday, stating that the resignation had been formally communicated.

“Yes, it is true. The deputy governor has resigned from his position,” he said, declining to provide further details on the circumstances surrounding the decision.

Although no official reason has been given for the resignation, the development comes amid recent tensions between the deputy governor and the Kano State House of Assembly.

The Assembly had, in recent days, levelled a series of allegations against Gwarzo, including claims of misconduct and issues bordering on the discharge of his official responsibilities.

The lawmakers had also initiated moves that observers described as a prelude to possible disciplinary action, raising concerns about a looming political crisis within the state executive arm.

The resignation also comes against the backdrop of recent political realignments in Kano following Governor Abba Yusuf’s defection to the All Progressives Congress, a development that has triggered significant shifts within the state’s political and administrative structures.

In the wake of the defection, the governor had embarked on a series of changes within the government, including the removal of the Head of Service, Abdullahi Musa, as part of efforts to reposition the civil service for greater efficiency and discipline.

Similarly, the governor recently relieved the Commissioner for Investment, Commerce and Industry, Shehu Wada Sagagi, of his appointment, citing ongoing efforts to restructure government operations for improved service delivery.

Political observers say these developments point to a broader strategy by the administration to consolidate its position within the new political alignment and streamline governance structures in line with its evolving priorities.

While the specifics of the allegations against Gwarzo were yet to be fully clarified, sources within the Assembly had indicated that the matter was under legislative scrutiny before his resignation.

Efforts to get further clarification from the Kano State Government were unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report.

Gwarzo’s resignation is expected to trigger constitutional processes regarding the appointment of a new deputy governor, subject to the approval of the Kano State House of Assembly.

Analysts say the latest development may further reshape the political landscape in Kano, particularly as the state navigates ongoing alignments ahead of future electoral contests.

It's obvious Sowore was hired by APC. Why the obsession with Pete Obi? That's how he went to Abia state and started talking bad about the most hardworking governor Alex Otti while not talking about Dapo Abiodun that have made Ogun state the headquarters of bad road

ADC 2027: Atiku is My Preferred Candidate, Party Should Zone Ticket To the North - Momodu

There's nobody in ADC that can claim ownership of the party. ADC will determine who gets its presidential ticket based on strategy, not at the dictate of one man or woman. My advice to the party is that time isn't on our side. The ADC ticket should go to the part of the country where people are most disgruntled with the APC

Ahmad Umar, a Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, has refuted claims that he was detained by the Department of State Services (DSS), following a recent visit by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate.

In Tuesday post on his X page, Obi alleged that Umar was arrested shortly after hosting him in Kaduna last Sunday.

However, in viral video which circulated hours after @PeterObi's post, Umar refuted the claim, insisting he was neither detained nor mistreated.

The cleric said he was only invited for questioning and he had since been released.

I was not detained by the DSS, I was invited for questioning. I cooperated fully and was released.

"I think there's a bigger game plan with Tinubu and APC. With the way they're moving – sharing rice, The City Boy Movement, owning 31 out of 35 states' governors in Nigeria.

I don't think President Tinubu is preparing for 2027. I think he's preparing for 2032; I think he wants to go for a third term. He's pushing for a one-party system. What they're doing now doesn't look like a plan for 2027." - VeryDarkMan
