Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso, son of the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has resigned from his position as Kano State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development.
Kwankwaso announced his resignation on Monday via a statement shared on his verified Facebook page, confirming his exit from the Kano State Executive Council.
In the statement, he described the decision as a difficult one, while expressing appreciation to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for the opportunity to serve in the administration.
“With a deep sense of responsibility, I hereby tender my resignation as Honourable Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development and as a member of the Kano State Executive Council,” he said.
He noted that his time in office was marked by valuable learning experiences and meaningful engagement with young people across the state.
“I am sincerely grateful to His Excellency, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, for the confidence he placed in me. Serving the people of Kano State has been an honour, and the lessons gained during this period will remain with me,” Kwankwaso stated.
The former commissioner also expressed optimism about the future of youth empowerment and sports development in Kano, urging sustained government commitment to the sector.
“As I step aside, my hope is that programmes aimed at empowering our youths and advancing sports development will continue to receive the attention and investment they deserve,” he added.
Kwankwaso concluded by offering prayers for the state and its leadership.
“May Allah (SWT) continue to guide and bless Kano State, its leaders, and its people,” he said.
His resignation comes amid ongoing political realignments within Kano State following Governor Yusuf’s recent departure from the NNPP.
