The statement, signed by the group’s spokesperson, Dr. Habibu Sale Mohammed, noted that the decision was made after careful deliberation and in the interest of maintaining stability in the state’s governance.
It added that prevailing circumstances had made it challenging for the deputy governor to fully perform the responsibilities of his office.
“This decision, though difficult, has been taken in the overall interest of the people and the stability of governance in Kano State,” the statement said.
The development follows allegations levelled against the deputy governor by the Kano State House of Assembly.
However, the movement stressed that the Deputy Governor of Kano State resignation should not be interpreted as an acceptance of any wrongdoing.
