Kwankwasiyya Warns Kano Lawmakers: “Don’t Use Impeachment to Settle Political Scores”.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement has warned the Kano State House of Assembly against using the impeachment process as a political weapon, cautioning that such actions could deepen political divisions in the state.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The statement comes in response to reported moves to impeach Kano State Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo.
In a Friday release, the movement’s spokesperson, Dr. Habibu Saleh, described the development as troubling and urged political actors to avoid actions that could be perceived as politically motivated.
“The people of Kano are closely monitoring events, and there is growing concern that this impeachment attempt may be driven more by political considerations than by genuine constitutional necessity,” Saleh said.
He emphasized that while the constitution empowers lawmakers to hold public officials accountable, impeachment is one of the most serious legislative tools and must be exercised responsibly.
“Impeachment must never be reduced to a means of settling political disputes or rearranging political alliances. It should be guided strictly by justice, fairness, and the interests of the people,” he added.
Saleh also reminded the state leadership that the current administration came to power through the collective efforts and sacrifices of thousands of Kwankwasiyya supporters across Kano State.
“The victory that brought this government into office was not the achievement of any single individual. It resulted from the loyalty, unity, and sacrifices of Kwankwasiyya faithful across all 44 local governments in Kano State,” he said.
He cautioned that any perceived targeting of key administration figures could send the wrong signal to supporters who worked tirelessly to secure electoral success.
“Those in power must remember the collective struggle that made their victory possible. Political authority should never be exercised in ways that suggest abandoning the alliances and loyalties that built the movement,” Saleh added.
The movement further called on members of the Kano State House of Assembly to carry out their constitutional duties with independence, fairness, and accountability to the people.
“The authority of the Assembly comes directly from the electorate and must be exercised with wisdom, fairness, and a strong sense of responsibility,” he said.
Saleh warned that political actions perceived as persecution could escalate tensions in the state’s political environment.
“History shows that when political power is wielded in ways that appear unjust or vindictive, the people ultimately deliver their verdict through democratic means,” he noted.
He reaffirmed the movement’s commitment to peace, democratic stability, and the protection of the mandate given to the current administration by Kano citizens.
“At this critical moment, all political actors must exercise restraint and wisdom, remembering the sacrifices of the millions whose collective efforts brought this government into office,” the statement concluded.
