Tension in Kano as Gov Yusuf rebels against Kwankwaso's Kwankwasiyya

The rift within the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has reached a critical point, marked by allegations of Kwankwaso’s overreach in local government and party matters.

Sources indicate that the governor has grown frustrated with Kwankwaso’s unilateral control over key decisions, including the appointment of local government chairmen.

“Abba does not want to denigrate Kwankwaso, but he truly wants to be independent,” a close insider revealed to Daily Nigerian.
