The Director General of the Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board, Alhaji Laminu Rabiu, has resigned from his position with immediate effect.
In a resignation letter dated January 25, 2026, and addressed to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Rabiu said his decision was influenced by recent political developments in the state.
According to the letter addressed to the governor, Rabiu explained that the circumstances have necessitated a realignment of his focus and commitments.
He reaffirmed his loyalty to the Kwankwasiyya movement and its leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, stressing that stepping aside from his appointment would allow him to fully support the movement’s strategic direction in the current political landscape.
“This decision has not been taken lightly,” Rabiu stated, adding that his action was taken in the interest of preserving unity within the party and advancing its goals.
He expressed gratitude to Governor Yusuf for the trust and confidence reposed in him to lead the Pilgrims Welfare Board, describing it as an honour to serve.
People’s Pen24 reports that his resignation comes a few hours after Governor Yusuf officially rejoined the APC.
