Gwarzo Resigns from ADC Amid Shifting Political Landscape

Former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has officially stepped down from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), signaling a possible shift in his political direction.

In a resignation letter dated May 1, 2026, and addressed to the party’s chairman in Gwarzo Local Government Area, he confirmed that his decision takes immediate effect.

Gwarzo explained that his exit followed careful consideration and consultations with political allies, supporters, and associates across the state. According to him, recent developments within the political space prompted a reassessment of his position in the party.

He noted that the changing dynamics in the political environment made it necessary for him to reconsider his affiliation in line with his broader vision for governance and public service.

Describing his move as one driven by patriotism, Gwarzo said he intends to pursue a path that better reflects his commitment to democratic principles, good governance, and sustainable development in Kano State and the country at large.

Despite his departure, he expressed gratitude to the ADC leadership and members for their support and cooperation during his time with the party.
