The Kano State House of Assembly has withdrawn its notice of impeachment against former Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, one month after initiating the process. The assembly said the impeachment process had become unnecessary following Gwarzo’s resignation from office. Subsequently, 38 lawmakers from the All Progressives Congress (APC) signed the impeachment notice, while the two members representing the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) declined to endorse it. According to the notice, the assembly alleged that Gwarzo received kickbacks from the 44 local government councils in the state between June 2023 and January 2024. Gwarzo had resigned on March 27, citing the overall interest of the people and the need to maintain stability in the state.
