In the wee hours of Tuesday, news began to filter out that the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Abdul’aziz Garba Gafasa, had tendered his resignation in a handwritten letter to his colleagues. This decision led to a change of leadership in the House for the fifth time in five years.
Majority Leader Kabiru Hassan Dashi and his deputy, Tasi’u Zabainawa, had similarly announced their resignation from the leadership of the House about the same time.
Gafasa, in the letter, titled ‘Notification of Resignation,’ dated December 14 and addressed to the clerk and permanent secretary of the House, said he was resigning on personal grounds, while Dashi and Zabainawa did not provide any reason for their resignation.

The Deputy Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Hamisu Ibrahim Chidari has emerged the new Speaker.
Similarly, Zubairu Hamza Masu from Sumaila local government emerged the new Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly.
The changes came on the twilight of the resignation of AbdulAziz Garba Gafasa as Speaker.
Gafasa resigned on a personal ground, but DAILY POST reliably gathered that the Speaker quickly left his seat upon sensing that the House was moving to impeach him.
The House Majority Leader, Kabiru Hassan Dashi also resigned his position without giving any specific reason.
The Assembly was said to have plunged into crisis following accusations against the former Speaker that he was not playing the tune of the members and that he rather pursued his personal desire than that of the House.
