Hours after Governor Abdullahi Ganduje ordered every political appointee aspiring for elective positions in 2023 to resign, some of them have tender their resignation.

Kano State Commissioner for Rural Development, Musa Ilyasu Kwankwaso, announced his resignation in an audio clip aired across radio stations.

However, sources close to the former commissioner revealed to Daily Trust that Musa Ilyasu Kwankwaso resigned to contest for membership of the House of Representatives under Kura, Madobi and Garun Malam Federal Constituency.
