Former Kano State Deputy Governor Aminu Gwarzo has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing recent political developments and the need to realign his political direction.

Gwarzo disclosed this in a resignation letter dated May 1, 2026, addressed to the party’s chairman in Gwarzo Local Government Area of Kano State. He said the decision takes immediate effect.

According to him, the move followed extensive consultations with political associates, supporters, and stakeholders across the state.

“Recent political developments and the evolving political landscape have made it necessary for me to review my membership,” he stated.

He added that his decision was driven by what he described as patriotic considerations and a desire to pursue a path consistent with his vision for good governance, democratic values, and sustainable development.

Gwarzo, however, expressed appreciation to the party’s leadership and members for the support he received during his time in the ADC.

“I wish to sincerely appreciate the leadership and members of the party for the cooperation, respect and support I received,” he said.

He did not indicate his next political move, but the resignation comes amid ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
