His move follows his resignation from the APC, which he described as a personal and voluntary step in a letter dated March 29, 2026, addressed to his ward chairman.
In the letter, he expressed appreciation to the party for the opportunity to serve and contribute to its development.
Prior to this, Gawuna had also stepped down as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, effective March 31, 2026, in compliance with a directive by Bola Ahmed Tinubu requiring political appointees to resign in line with provisions of the Electoral Act.
He expressed gratitude to the President for the trust reposed in him, describing his service in various roles, including as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Bayero University, Kano, as an honour.
