Ex-Kano Governor Shekarau Defends Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Says Leaving NNPP Won’t Constitute Betrayal Amid Party Divisions Former Kano State Governor Ibrahim Shekarau has defended Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf amid speculation that he may defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking to DCL Hausa, Shekarau stated that political alignments are personal choices shaped by circumstances and consultations, not acts of disloyalty. Shekarau referenced historical precedent, noting that Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso previously left the PDP for APC while holding office without relinquishing his mandate, suggesting Yusuf’s potential move would follow a similar path. He also highlighted past disagreements within the NNPP over power-sharing arrangements, which led him and his supporters to exit the party. Shekarau emphasized that defection, when done in consultation with supporters, should not be framed as betrayal, and insisted that Governor Yusuf should be allowed to make his decision freely without being demonized. #ShekarauStatement #AbbaKabirYusuf #NNPPPolitics #KanoPolitics #KwankwasiyyaMovement #APCDefection #PoliticalRealignment #NigeriaPolitics #GovernorYusuf #NNPPControversy

Kano NNPP Expels Rep Member Abdulmumin Jibrin Over Anti-Party Activities The Kano State chapter of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has expelled House of Representatives member Abdulmumin Jibrin, representing Kiru/Bebeji constituency, over alleged anti-party activities and disloyalty. State Chairman, Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, said Jibrin’s expulsion followed “repeated acts of sabotage and public defiance,” including media attacks on the party and its leadership. He added that Jibrin’s political relevance stemmed only from his affiliation with the Kwankwasiyya movement and NNPP, noting that the lawmaker had earlier hinted at plans to defect. Dungurawa further accused Jibrin of failing to pay mandatory party dues, vowing to seek legal action for recovery. He stressed that the Kwankwasiyya movement, led by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, remains strong despite speculation of defections. #NNPP #KanoPolitics #AbdulmuminJibrin
