Kano Commissioner Amina Sani Defects from NNPP to Join Governor Yusuf in APC
Kano Commissioner for Women Affairs and Special Duties, Hajiya Amina Sani, has left the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) to join Governor Yusuf in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The Commissioner of Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Waiya, confirmed Amina Sani's defection on Sunday, February 1, 2026.
This move is seen as a significant shift in Kano's political dynamics, strengthening Governor Yusuf's APC base while weakening the opposition. The defection signals potential challenges for the NNPP and Governor Yusuf's political opponents, including Senator Kwankwaso.
This defection follows a series of similar moves by other lawmakers in Kano state, impacting the state's political landscape.
