Yusuf Kofarmata, a Kano State Commissioner, has resigned from the State Executive Council, accusing the current administration of departing from its founding principles.
In a statement on Sunday, Kofarmata, who oversaw the ministries of Tertiary Education and Science, Technology and Innovation, said he could no longer serve in a government that had “derailed from the ideology that brought it to power.”
He thanked the NNPP leadership, including Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, and expressed continued loyalty to the Kwankwasiyya movement, despite stepping down from his government role.
The resignation comes amid political turbulence in Kano State, following Governor Yusuf’s recent departure from the NNPP, which has sparked realignments among officials and party members ahead of the 2027 elections.
Political analysts say Kofarmata’s exit reflects deepening divisions within the state government and party structures, signaling challenges for the administration as the next election cycle approaches.
