Kwankwaso’s son resigns as Kano commissioner

Mustapha Kwankwaso, commissioner for youths and sports development, has resigned his appointment and membership of the Kano State Executive Council.
Mr Kwankwaso, a son of the national leader of NNPP, said his resignation followed his father’s disapproval of Governor Abba Yusuf’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He announced his resignation in a letter on Monday stating that the decision to bring to an end his tenure in the cabinet of Mr Yusuf was with a “heavy heart.”
He expressed deep appreciation to Mr Yusuf for the opportunity to serve the state, describing his time in office as “rewarding and impactful.”
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Gov. 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,” he stated.
The junior Kwankwaso also offered prayers for the continued welfare of young people in the state, urging sustained attention to youth empowerment and sports development programmes.
He wrote: “As I resign, I pray that the youths of Kano State will continue to receive the attention and support they deserve.
“I hope for the best for our sports development programmes and initiatives, and I am confident that they will flourish in the years to come.”
He further prayed for continued peace and progress in the state, asking God to bless Kano State and its people, while wishing the Yusuf government success in its efforts.
