Saidu Yahaya, the Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC), has reportedly resigned amid mounting pressure. The reason for his resignation is alleged failure to meet expectations, according to unnamed sources. However, neither Yahaya nor the Kano State Government has officially confirmed the resignation at the time of this report.
Yahaya assumed his position in August 2025, succeeding Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado, after the latter's tenure expired. He was approved by the Kano State House of Assembly for a five-year term. Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had criticized Yahaya in recent months, alleging that he was not performing to expectations as the head of the anti-graft agency.
Some speculate that Yahaya's previous role as a federal anti-corruption staff member might have contributed to his alleged underperformance.
