A commissioner in the Kano State Government has resigned from his position, citing dissatisfaction with the direction of the administration, which he described as having “derailed” from its founding ideals.
The Commissioner for Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Yusuf Ibrahim Kofarmata, announced his resignation from the Kano State Executive Council, saying he could no longer continue to serve under a government that had departed from the principles and ideology that brought it to power.
Reason for Resignation
In a statement explaining his decision, Kofarmata said his resignation was based on personal conviction and taken in good faith. He noted that remaining in office would amount to endorsing actions and policies he no longer agreed with, stressing that public service must be guided by clear principles and integrity.
He expressed appreciation for the opportunity to serve the people of Kano State and thanked colleagues and supporters for their cooperation during his tenure.
Political Context
The resignation comes amid ongoing political realignments in Kano State. Recent developments have seen shifts in party affiliations among key political actors, creating tensions within the state’s political structure.
Kofarmata reaffirmed his loyalty to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and the Kwankwasiyya movement, describing them as the platforms through which he intends to continue pursuing his political ideals, despite stepping down from his government position.
Implications
The commissioner’s exit has added to public debate over governance, party loyalty, and ideological consistency within the Kano State administration. Observers say the resignation reflects deeper disagreements over leadership style and policy direction.
Conclusion
Kofarmata’s decision underscores the challenges of maintaining unity and ideological alignment in government, particularly during periods of political transition. As Kano State navigates these developments, attention is expected to remain on how the administration responds to internal dissent and evolving political dynamics.
