Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso, son of NNPP’s 2023 presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has officially resigned as Kano State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development.
The resignation was announced on Monday via a statement shared on his verified Facebook page, where he confirmed his exit from the Kano State Executive Council.
In the statement, Mustapha expressed appreciation to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for the opportunity to serve, describing his decision as a difficult one made with reflection.
“With a heavy heart, I announce my resignation as Honourable Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development and as a member of the Kano State Executive Council,” he stated.
He thanked the governor for the trust placed in him and noted that his time in office was marked by valuable lessons and meaningful service to the people of Kano State.
Mustapha also expressed optimism about the future of youth empowerment and sports development in the state, urging the government to sustain investment in both sectors.
“I sincerely hope that the youth of Kano State will continue to receive the support and attention they deserve, and that sports development initiatives will continue to thrive,” he said.
He concluded by offering prayers for Kano State and its leadership, wishing the administration success moving forward.
