Federal Lawmaker Resigns from NNPP Citing Internal Issues Amid Political Realignments

Sagir Ibrahim Koki, a federal lawmaker representing Kano Municipal Federal Constituency, has resigned from the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) due to internal party problems. This move comes amidst ongoing political realignments in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 elections, with several lawmakers switching parties, notably towards the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Former CBN Governor Muhammadu Sanusi II recently criticized President Bola Tinubu's economic policies, warning against excessive borrowing. Koki's resignation has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians on social media platforms.
