The ex-Kano state commissioner for youth and sports development made the announcement on Monday via his official Facebook page.

“I want to inform the general public that as of today, I have officially resigned my membership from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
“This decision has not been taken lightly, and I want to assure you that it is a deliberate and well-considered move.
