<p>He pointed to persistent internal disputes and legal challenges that have continued to unsettle the party’s structure nationwide.</p>
<p>“In recent times, the party has been confronted with persistent internal challenges arising from leadership disagreements and ongoing legal processes, many of which are presently before the courts for judicial determination.”</p>
<p>According to the Governor, the internal disagreements have widened divisions and weakened cohesion within the party.</p>
<p>“The growing disenfranchisement among party members has created deep divisions within the party structure, resulting in cracks that appear increasingly irreconcilable and have generated uncertainty at both state and national levels.”</p>
<p>Governor Yusuf stated that his decision followed careful reflection and was guided strictly by public interest considerations.</p>
<p>“After careful reflection, and without prejudice to the party’s capacity to resolve its internal challenges, I have come to the conclusion that my resignation is in the best interest of the people of Kano State.”</p>
<p>He emphasized that the decision was taken in good faith and without bitterness.</p>
<p>“This decision is taken in good faith, without any ill will, and with a continued commitment to peace, unity, and the progress of Kano State.”</p>
<p>The Governor is resigning today along with 21 members of the State Assembly, 8 members of the House of Representatives and 44 Local Government Chairmen of Kano state.</p>
<p>The resignation letter was acknowledged by the party Secretary, Diso-Chiranchi Ward, Hon. Kabiru Zubairu who commended the Governor for his laudable projects on infrastructure, urban renewal, health, education and economic empowerment.</p>
<p>“I wish to concur with His Excellency on the lingering crisis in our party, though we are trying our best to contain it, but we have no option than to accept the resignation of a one and most performing Governor of the NNPP.”</p>
