Kano Commissioner resigns over ideological drift

A Kano State commissioner, Yusuf Kofarmata, has resigned from his position, citing what he described as a departure from the political ideology that brought the current administration to power.

Kofarmata announced his resignation in a statement issued on Sunday, saying his decision was guided by conscience and taken in good faith.

“I hereby resign my appointment as commissioner and member of the Kano State Executive Council. I cannot continue to serve under a government that has derailed from the ideology that brought it to power,” he said.

The former commissioner, who served in the Ministry of Tertiary Education and later in the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, expressed appreciation to the leadership of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and other political figures for the opportunity to serve.

He specifically thanked the NNPP national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and supporters of the Kwankwasiyya movement for their support during his tenure.

“I remain grateful to our national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and all those who stood with us throughout the journey,” Kofarmata said.

Despite his resignation, he reaffirmed his loyalty to the NNPP and the Kwankwasiyya movement, declaring his continued commitment to their ideals.

Kofarmata’s exit comes amid rising political tension in Kano State following Governor Yusuf’s recent departure from the NNPP, a development that has reportedly sparked resignations and political realignments among government appointees and party officials.

In recent days, several aides and stakeholders associated with the Kwankwasiyya movement have either stepped down or distanced themselves from the state government, citing ideological differences and uncertainty over its political direction.

The resignation further highlights deepening internal strains within Kano’s political landscape as alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to take shape.
