The Kano State House of Assembly has on Saturday debunked the alleged plan to impeach the Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdulsalam-Gwarzo.
The assembly described the reports as “baseless and misleading,” stressing that no such initiative was ongoing.
Addressing newsmen in Kano, the spokesperson to the Speaker, Kamaluddeen Shawai, refuted the claims, stressing that the circulating stories were aimed at creating unnecessary tension in the state.
“There is absolutely no motion or initiative within the House to remove the Deputy Governor.
“These reports are false and should be disregarded by the public. The Deputy Governor continues to serve with full support from the House,” he said.
He urged both the media and the public to verify information before dissemination, we emphasizing that accurate reporting is essential for political stability in the state.
Shawai added that the house remained focused on legislative duties and oversight functions, not speculative political manoeuvres.
“Our priority is good governance and serving the people of Kano, not circulating rumours,” he said.
According to reports, the clarification follows recent public comments by the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, who had called on the Deputy Governor to resign during a radio interview over alleged political differences.
The development is coming amid Abdulsalam-Gwarzo’s refusal to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) with his principal, Governor Abba Yusuf.
