Kwankwaso Loyalists Resign En Masse After Gov. Yusuf Leaves NNPP, Sparking Political Fallout
Kwankwaso loyalists, including several political appointees in Kano State, have resigned in protest after Governor Abba Yusuf left the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP). The resignations were triggered by the governor's exit from NNPP.
Notable figures like Sirajo, a former special adviser to the governor on political matters, announced their resignations. This move led to a swift response from Governor Yusuf's media aide, Sanusi Batur, who confirmed the appointment of Mustapha Hamza Buhari as the new special adviser on political matters.
The resignations and political fallout have deepened cracks within the administration, with the NNPP flag being pulled down at the Kano Government House. A viral video showed Governor Yusuf's spokesperson, Sanusi Batur, personally removing the NNPP flag from the premises.
The situation highlights the escalating tensions within the political landscape of Kano State.
