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.
