The Kwankwasiyya Movement has cautioned the Kano State House of Assembly and the state government against proceeding with moves to impeach the Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, warning that such action could deepen political divisions in the state.
In a statement issued on Friday, the spokesperson of the movement, Dr. Habibu Sale Mohammed, described the impeachment process as troubling and urged political actors in the state to avoid actions that could be perceived as politically motivated.
“The people of Kano are closely watching the unfolding events, and there is growing concern that the impeachment move may be driven more by political considerations than by genuine constitutional necessity,” he said.
According to him, although the constitution provides mechanisms for legislative oversight, impeachment remains one of the most serious powers available to lawmakers and must not be used for political convenience.
“Impeachment must never be reduced to a tool for settling political disagreements or rearranging political alignments. It must be guided strictly by justice, fairness and the interest of the people,” he added.

Dr. Sale Mohammed also reminded the state leadership that the electoral victory that brought the present administration to power was the result of the collective efforts of thousands of Kwankwasiyya supporters across the 44 local government areas of the state.
“The victory that produced this government was not the achievement of any single individual. It was the product of the sacrifices, loyalty and unity of Kwankwasiyya faithful across Kano State,” he said.
He warned that actions perceived as targeting key figures within the administration could send the wrong message to supporters who worked tirelessly during the elections.
“Those in power must remember the collective struggle that made their success possible. Political authority should never be used in a way that creates the impression of abandoning the alliances and loyalties that built the movement,” he said.
The spokesperson further urged members of the Kano State House of Assembly to exercise their constitutional responsibilities with caution and independence.
“The authority of the Assembly comes directly from the people, and such authority must be exercised with wisdom, fairness and a clear sense of responsibility to the electorate,” he said.
He added that political actions perceived as persecution could create unnecessary tension within the state’s political landscape.
“History has shown that when political power is used in ways that appear unjust or vindictive, the people ultimately deliver their verdict through democratic means,” he said.
Dr. Sale Mohammed stated that the Kwankwasiyya Movement remains committed to peace, democratic stability and the protection of the political mandate given by the people of Kano.
