By Abdullahi Yusuf
The Kwankwasiyya Movement has thanked all members of the group who recently resigned their appointments with the Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf administration in solidarity with the leader of the movement,Sen.Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The appreciation is contained in a statement signed by the movement’s Spokesperson,Dr.Habibu Sale Mohammed, and issued to journalists in Kano on Sunday.
“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, and the enduring ideals of the Kwankwasiyya Movement,” Dr. Habibu Mohammed said.
He said the movement particularly acknowledged the sacrifices made by former Commissioners, Special Advisers, Special Assistants, Managing Directors, Executive Secretaries, and other political appointees “who, despite their immense contributions to the formation, stability, and success of the government, chose the path of honour and principle over personal comfort and privilege.”
“These decisions taken with full awareness of the significant benefits and opportunities being relinquished stand as a powerful testament to integrity, conviction, and selfless service.
“It is in recognition of these invaluable contributions and sacrifices that our principal, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, in his characteristic humility and statesmanship, earlier advised those who resigned to reconsider their decisions.
“This counsel was not borne out of weakness, but out of deep appreciation for their roles in institution-building, service delivery, and governance.
“It reflects his enduring belief that governance must never descend into personal vendettas or political intimidation, but must remain firmly anchored on service to the people.
“However, those who resigned have respectfully maintained that their personal convictions and sense of responsibility may conflict with the prevailing directives and orientation of the Gandujiyya-led government of Kano State,” he said.
The group also commended what it called:”the courage and steadfastness of the Deputy Governor, our elected representatives including a Senator, Members of the House of Representatives, Members of the Kano State House of Assembly, and elected Councillors who, despite numerous inducements and sustained pressure from both state and federal authorities, have remained resolute and loyal to the mandate freely given to them by the people. Your firmness reinforces public confidence in representative democracy and principled leadership.”
“Equally worthy of recognition are members and individuals who resigned from Local Government Councils, including Council Secretaries, Supervisory Councillors, Special Advisers, and Personal Assistants. Your actions reflect deep grassroots commitment to justice, fairness, and the core values upon which the Kwankwasiyya Movement was founded.
“Let it be clearly stated that Kwankwasiyya is not built on positions or privileges, but on sacrifice, service, and the unwavering pursuit of good governance and social justice. History will be kind to all those who stood firm at this defining moment.
“For those remaining in office on special assignment, transitional arrangements, or for genuine personal reasons, we urge continued professionalism, civility, and restraint. The Kwankwasiyya Movement will always extend goodwill to those who conduct themselves responsibly and refrain from unwarranted utterances or actions capable of harming, intimidating, or undermining our principal or the Movement.
“We assure all our members and supporters that the Kwankwasiyya Movement remains strong, united, and focused. No amount of pressure, intimidation, or inducement can derail a movement rooted in the will and aspirations of the people,” the statement added.
