Kano Speaker and 21 Lawmakers Defect from NNPP, Align with Governor in Major Political Shift
In a significant political development, the Kano State Speaker and 21 lawmakers have resigned from the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) and aligned with Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. The defection, which includes key figures like the Deputy Speaker and major leaders, spans constituencies across the state.
Governor Yusuf cited internal crises and the need to protect citizens' interests as reasons for leaving the NNPP. This move is expected to further diminish the NNPP's influence in Kano State.
Additionally, other government officials, including Dr. Dahiru Muhammad Hashim, have also announced their resignations from the NNPP. The defection signals a significant realignment of political forces in the state.
