The Kwankwasiyya Movement has declared that no amount of pressure, intimidation, or inducement can derail a movement rooted in the will and aspirations of the people.
This was as the Movement commended some of its members who were appointees in the administration of Governor Kabir Yusuf for demonstrating uncommon courage, loyalty and commitment by resigning their respective position voluntarily in solidarity with their leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The Movement particularly acknowledged the sacrifices by former Commissioners, Special Advisers, Special Assistants, Managing Directors, Executive Secretaries, and other political appointees who, despite their immense contributions to the formation, stability, and success of the government, chose the path of honour and principle over personal comfort and privilege.
It noted that the decisions taken with full awareness of the significant benefits and opportunities being relinquished, stand as a powerful testament to integrity, conviction, and selfless service.
A statement by Habibu Sale Mohammed, Spokesperson of the Kwankwasiyya Movement stated that it was in recognition of these invaluable contributions and sacrifices that Senator Kwankwaso, in his characteristic humility and statesmanship, advised those who resigned to reconsider their decisions.
Mohammed said; “This counsel was not borne out of weakness, but out of deep appreciation for their roles in institution-building, service delivery, and governance.
“It reflects his enduring belief that governance must never descend into personal vendettas or political intimidation, but must remain firmly anchored on service to the people,” he said.
However, the Movement noted that those who resigned have respectfully maintained that their personal convictions and sense of responsibility may conflict with the prevailing directives and orientation of the Gandujiyya-led government of Kano State.
The Movement particularly commended the courage and steadfastness of the Deputy Governor, elected representatives including a Senator, members of the House of Representatives, members of the Kano State House of Assembly, and elected Councillors who, despite numerous inducements and sustained pressure from both state and federal authorities, have remained resolute and loyal to the mandate freely given to them by the people.
According to Mohammed; “Your firmness reinforces public confidence in representative democracy and principled leadership.
“Equally worthy of recognition are members and individuals who resigned from Local Government Councils, including Council Secretaries, Supervisory Councillors, Special Advisers, and Personal Assistants.
“Your actions reflect deep grassroots commitment to justice, fairness, and the core values upon which the Kwankwasiyya Movement was founded.
“Let it be clearly stated that Kwankwasiyya is not built on positions or privileges, but on sacrifice, service, and the unwavering pursuit of good governance and social justice. History will be kind to all those who stood firm at this defining moment.
“For those remaining in office on special assignment, transitional arrangements, or for genuine personal reasons, we urge continued professionalism, civility, and restraint.
“The Kwankwasiyya Movement will always extend goodwill to those who conduct themselves responsibly and refrain from unwarranted utterances or actions capable of harming, intimidating, or undermining our principal or the Movement,” the statement stated.
The Movement assured its members and supporters that it remained strong, united, and focused.
