Kano Governor's Defection Triggers Political Crisis: Deputy and Lawmakers Resign
Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje's defection from the NNPP to the APC has sparked a political crisis in the state. Following his announcement, his deputy, Yusuf, and 22 members of the Kano State House of Assembly, eight members of the House of Representatives, and 44 local government chairmen tendered their resignations.
Prominent figures like Abdullahi Musa, Mustapha Rabiu, and Adamu Aliyu Kibiya also aligned with Ganduje. Efforts to impeach the deputy governor were reportedly initiated but later collapsed.
The defection process has led to a realignment of political allegiances in Kano, with significant implications for the state's governance and future political landscape.
