Gawuna resigns as FMBN governing board chairman
Former All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Kano State, Nasiru Gawuna, has resigned his position as the Chairman of the Governing Board of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria.
In a resignation letter dated March 27, 2026, the former Deputy Governor of Kano State said his resignation as FMBN chairman takes immediate effect.
He added that the decision aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s directive that appointees who have political ambition should step down in compliance with the Electoral Act ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Gawuna expressed gratitude to the President for the opportunity to serve, describing his tenure as a privilege that enabled him to contribute to the development of the bank and the country at large.
“My resignation is in strict compliance with the President’s directive requiring all political appointees to step down in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral Act,” he wrote.
He added that he was placing his future “in the hands of Allah (SWT)” while seeking divine guidance for his next steps.
Gawuna also assured that he would ensure a smooth transition by handing over all responsibilities in line with established procedures.
Prior to his resignation as FMBN chairman, Gawuna had formally resigned his membership of the ruling party.
