The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has said it is not surprised by what it described as the desperate actions of the Kano State House of Assembly to impeach the Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo.
In a statement signed by Ladipo Johnson, its National Publicity Secretary, the NNPP said that Nigerians should not expect anything less, adding that the move was the final kick from a political group that has lost its conscience.
“When men trade their conscience for political favour, they see being loyal to the people as a criminal act,” the statement said.
“The Deputy Governor is being targeted for one specific ‘crime’: he won’t get on the same page as others who have broken the trust given to the NNPP by the people of Kano.
“He has chosen the path of honor, staying loyal to the Kano voters and his party, while others have switched to the ruling party in a shameful act of political opportunism.
“This fake show starting in the House is a clear sign of the old, bad kind of democracy these people follow—a system where the law is used like a weapon to hurt the very people it’s supposed to help.
“They are not looking for a person; they are targeting the authority given by the people of Kano!
“We see this so-called impeachment process for what it is. It’s a clear attempt to create a path for the APC to take over a mandate they couldn’t win either in the polls or through the courts.
“It’s a political killing that’s pretending to be a legal procedure,” it stated.
The NNPP showed their strong support for the deputy governor and the people of Kano State, saying that “These people gave their trust to the NNPP in 2023 for a four-year term. However, this mandate has now been passed to a political party that the people clearly did not support.
“We ask the people of Kano State to stay calm despite this big challenge. You can’t challenge the truth, and you can’t send a notice about ‘gross misconduct’ to the will of the people as a whole. This bad legislation is just a rough way to finish weakening the vote in a sneaky way.
“Let it be known: 2027 is nearer than it seems.
The voters have long memories. Every lawmaker who is trading their honesty for small political favors and their employers will face anger from the people when they vote. The gavel is in your hands today, but the people have the final say. The NNPP stands firm. We remain undeterred.”
DAILY POST reported that the Kano State House of Assembly has begun impeachment proceedings against the Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, over allegations of gross misconduct, abuse of office, and breach of public trust.
The impeachment notice was presented during plenary by the Majority Leader, Lawan Hussaini Dala, who said the action was initiated in line with Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
While addressing lawmakers, Dala outlined a series of allegations linked to Abdussalam’s tenure as Commissioner for Local Government between 2023 and 2024, as well as actions allegedly taken in his current role as deputy governor.
