2023: How Kano Political Appointees Are Complying With Amended Electoral Act – Investigation

Following the recent directive from the Kano State Government that any political appointee seeking elective positions should resign by April 18, 2022,  many commissioners and special advisers have tendered their resignation letters in order to fully participate in the forthcoming general election into various positions.
Our correspondent gathered that as at the time of filling this report, no fewer that  seven commissioners who were members of the state executive council as well as some advisers have resigned to fully prepare for the battle, while more are getting set to resign according to a source close to the government.
It would be recalled that Malam Sadiq Wali, Water Resources Commissioner, was the first member of the Kano State Executive Council to tender his resignation letter which was also accepted by the state governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
So far, some of the commissioners who tendered their resignation letters include, Murtala Sule Garo, Commissioner for Local Government, Ibrahim Ahmed Karaye, Tourism, Muktar Ishaq Yakasai Special Duties, Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso, Rural Development, Sunusi Kiru Education and Nura Dankadai, Budget and Planning.
Furthermore, some special advisers and many aides have resigned in order to take part in the political activities which can be described as a good development towards the progress of  Nigeria’s democracy as recommended by the amended electoral law.
