The Kwankwasiyya Movement has praised former political appointees who resigned their positions in the Kano State Government in solidarity with its leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, describing the action as a rare display of courage and commitment to principle.
In a statement issued on Sunday and signed by its spokesperson, Habibu Sale Mohammed, PhD, the movement said the resignations reflected the core values and enduring ideals upon which the Kwankwasiyya Movement was founded.
It expressed appreciation to the affected officials for what it described as their willingness to sacrifice personal comfort and privilege in defence of honour and conviction.
“The Kwankwasiyya Movement wishes to express its profound appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to all patriots who have demonstrated uncommon courage, loyalty and commitment by voluntarily resigning their respective positions in solidarity with our leader and principal, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,” the statement read.
The movement listed former commissioners, special advisers, special assistants, managing directors and executive secretaries among those who resigned, noting that their decisions were taken with full awareness of the benefits and opportunities they were relinquishing.
“These decisions stand as a powerful testament to integrity, conviction and selfless service,” it added.
According to the statement, Kwankwaso had earlier appealed to those who resigned to reconsider their decisions, explaining that the advice was borne out of appreciation for their contributions to governance and institution-building.
“Our principal, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, in his characteristic humility and statesmanship, earlier advised those who resigned to reconsider their decisions, not out of weakness, but out of deep appreciation for their roles in service delivery and governance,” the movement said.
However, it noted that the former appointees maintained their stance, citing irreconcilable differences between their personal convictions and what it described as the prevailing directives and orientation of the Gandujiyya-led Kano State Government.
The movement also commended members who resigned from local government councils, including council secretaries, supervisory councillors and personal assistants, describing their action as evidence of grassroots commitment to justice and fairness.
Reaffirming its philosophy, the movement stated that Kwankwasiyya “is not built on positions or privileges, but on sacrifice, service, and the pursuit of good governance and social justice.”
It assured members and supporters that the movement remained united and resilient, insisting that no pressure or inducement would derail its cause.
