Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso, son of former Kano Governor and NNPP national leader Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has formally resigned as the state’s Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development and member of the Kano State Executive Council under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Kwankwaso tendered his resignation letter on Monday ahead of Yusuf’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
As contained in the letter, the former Commissioner expressed his gratitude to the governor privilege to serve under him.
He prayed that the state’s youths will continue to receive the attention and support they deserve.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation as Honorable Commissioner, Ministry of Youth and Sports Development and Member of the Kano State Executive Council.
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for the opportunity to serve the great people of Kano State. I have cherished the experiences and lessons gained while serving, and I appreciate the trust placed in me.
“As I resign, I pray that the youth of Kano State will continue to receive the attention and support they deserve.
“I hope for the best for our sports development programs and initiatives, and I am confident that they will flourish in the years to come. “May Allah (SWT) continue to shower His blessings on our beloved Kano State. I wish the government and people of Kano State all the best.” The letter read.
While Kwankwaso failed to state actual reason behind his resignation, it however largely connects to his resolve not to follow Yusuf to the APC, considering his father’s prominent role at the NNPP as well as the Kwankwasiyya Movement.
