Kwankwasiyya Movement Declares NNPP 'Dead' After Defection

The Kwankwasiyya Movement announced that the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) is effectively 'dead' in Kano after Rabiu Kwankwaso's recent defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). During an interview on Tuesday, the spokesperson for the movement indicated that Kwankwaso's departure significantly weakens the NNPP's position, particularly in Kano state, where he was a defining figure.

The spokesperson noted that Kwankwaso's exit would likely lead to a substantial shift in the political dynamics within the state, as many politicians are expected to align with him, even if they do not share his views. This development is anticipated to create intense political competition in Kano in the coming months, reshaping the political landscape and potentially increasing the ADC's influence in the region.
