NNPP in Kano Faces Crisis Amid Alleged Kwankwaso-Yusuf Feud

The Kano chapter of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) is facing internal tensions amid reports of a growing rift between the party’s presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and the gubernatorial candidate, Abba Kabir Yusuf. Allegations of a feud between the two prominent figures have stirred controversy, causing concerns about the party’s unity and future in the state.

The tension is said to have emerged from differences in leadership style and political ambitions, with both Kwankwaso and Yusuf holding significant influence in Kano’s political landscape. As the party navigates this challenge, there are fears that the discord could undermine its prospects, especially as the 2023 elections approach.

The NNPP, which has gained substantial support in Kano due to Kwankwaso’s strong political base, now faces a critical moment in maintaining cohesion within its ranks. The feud could potentially divide party loyalty and disrupt its momentum, with both sides claiming the right to steer the party’s future direction in the state. Party leaders and supporters are closely watching to see how the situation will evolve, as the NNPP seeks to retain its relevance in Nigerian politics.
