The former Kano APC governorship candidate says his exit from the Federal Mortgage Bank board follows President Bola Tinubu's directive to political appointees with electoral ambitions.
Nasiru Gawuna has resigned as Federal Mortgage Bank board chairman, a move that adds fresh momentum to the shifting alliance map in Kano ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Behind-the-Scenes Discussions
Nasiru Gawuna has stepped down as chairman of the governing board of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, formally ending his tenure in a resignation letter dated March 27 and taking effect immediately.
The former All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Kano said the decision was made in compliance with President Bola Tinubu's directive requiring political appointees who plan to seek elective office to resign in line with the Electoral Act.
Industry Reaction
Channels Television reported that people familiar with the development expect Gawuna to announce a fresh political move linked to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and the African Democratic Congress, a development that would deepen the current wave of realignments in Kano politics.
In his letter, Gawuna thanked the president for the opportunity to serve, described the appointment as a privilege, and said he would ensure an orderly handover. He also said he was placing his future plans in God's hands as he prepares for the next phase of his public career.
The resignation is significant because Kano remains one of the country's most strategic political battlegrounds. Any shift involving Gawuna and other senior actors could quickly alter party strength, coalition arithmetic and campaign calculations in the state.
