Kano State House of Assembly Speaker resigns
The Speaker of Kano State House of Assembly Hon Abdulaziz Gafasa, has resigned from office, for reasons he called personal, but did not give further details, and however, thanked his 40 member colleagues for their support for the period of his tenure.
Penpushing reports that, he forwarded his resignation letter dated December 14, 2020 through the clerk of the house, while in the same vein two other principal officers of the legislative body have resigned from their positions.
“I, Rt. Hon. Abdulaziz Garba Gafasa write to notify you, honourable members of general public that I have resign from the position of the speaker of the house on the above date for my own personal reason’,the letter reads.
“Lastly, I thank all the hon members for the support given to me during my days as the speaker of the house, and pray Allah Subhanahu wata’ala will guide new leadership.Yours Abdulaziz G. Gafasa”,the letter emphasised
Penpushing further reports that, the other officers who resigned include: Hon Kabiru Dashi(Majority leader), and Hon Tasiu Zabainawa(Deputy Majority leader),but efforts to reach the duo were not successful as at the time of filing this report.
There were no clue to this development as at the time of this report, but it is believe in political quarters, that it may be related to recent primaries of the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC),as it is on record that there is disaffection among party members ahead of the forthcoming local government elections in the state.
Penpushing also reports that, following the recent primaries some members accused the state government and the party leadership of perpetrating injustice in the exercise, and this was pronounced by Hon Sha’aban Sharada representing Kano Municipal in the House of Representatives, who had alleged that the party’s leadership in Kano Municipal Local Government Area replaced delegates loyal to him prior to the primaries.
