Comrade Najeeb Nasir Ibrahim
Kano’s government is stuck and the blame lies at the top. Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo skipped the 38th State Executive Council meeting on 12 March.
This is more than a snub. It is a clear signal that leadership has stalled.
The Executive Council is where decisions happen. Contracts are signed. Policies are debated. Social programs are launched. Missing this meeting is not just irresponsible it is a failure of duty.
Decisions on Hold
The Ministry of Higher Education is frozen. Plans that affect students, lecturers, and staff are stuck. The future of thousands is left waiting, all because one top official refuses to show up.
Investors Watch, Confidence Wanes
Business thrives on stability. Investors see division at the top and hesitate. Projects stall. Opportunities vanish. Kano cannot afford to look unstable.
Bureaucracy Paralyzed
Civil servants are trapped in indecision. Approvals slow down.
Routine processes become political minefields. Governance grinds to a halt when leadership is divided.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has warned: officials unwilling to follow the administration’s vision should step aside.
Yet the Deputy Governor remains defiant, putting personal grievances above public duty.
The Ministry of Higher Education is too important to play political games with. Millions of young people depend on it.
Staying in office while refusing to act is selfish and harmful to public trust. Other officials in similar situations have chosen the honorable path resignation.
This is no longer a private spat. Missed meetings, stalled projects, and delayed budgets are a full-blown governance crisis.
The Kano State House of Assembly must act to restore functionality.
Kano cannot survive a ghost administration. Citizens deserve leaders committed to action, not power struggles.
For the sake of the state, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo must resign. Public office is about service, not clinging to a title.
The ship of state cannot wait while one deputy refuses to row.
