Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso, son of former NNPP presidential candidate Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has stepped down as Kano State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development.

He made the announcement on Monday through a statement on his official Facebook page, formally resigning from the State Executive Council. In the statement, he expressed gratitude to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for the opportunity to serve.

“It is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation as Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, and member of the Kano State Executive Council,” Kwankwaso said.

He thanked the governor for trusting him and reflected on the experiences and lessons gained while serving the people of the state.

“I am deeply grateful to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for giving me the chance to serve the great people of Kano State. My time in office has been full of valuable experiences and lessons, and I sincerely appreciate the confidence placed in me,” he added.

Kwankwaso also expressed hope that the youth and sports sectors would continue to receive adequate support under the current administration, stressing the importance of sustained investment in youth empowerment and sports development.

“As I step down, I pray that the youth of Kano State continue to get the attention and opportunities they deserve. I remain hopeful that our sports initiatives will thrive and grow in the coming years,” he said.

He concluded by praying for the prosperity of the state and its leadership: “May Allah (SWT) continue to bless our beloved Kano State. I wish the government and people all the very best.”

His resignation comes amid ongoing political reshuffles in Kano State following Governor Yusuf’s recent exit from the NNPP.
