When former Governor of Kano state Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso defects to the NNPP in late March 2022 many viewed Kwankwaso’s decision as a political suicide.
But penultimate week like Tsunami ,the NNPP has continued to receive high profile defections in which many political analysts sees Kwankwaso’s NNPP as the major opposition party in the state.
The political Tsunami that started consuming the APC was the defection of 9 Kano state house of assembly members ,the defection also goes on and as at the time of filing this report the NNPP so far has 15 members of state house of assembly in Kano.
The House Deputy speaker Zubairu Hamza Masu has also joined the NNPP.
Also a member of the house of representatives Tijjani Abdulkadir Jobe has since joined the NNPP.
A former chairman of appropriation committee and Director General Bola Ahmad Tinubu support group Dr Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa has also joined the NNPP.
Any moment from now Malam Ibrahim Shekarau,the senator representing Kano central at the senate will announce his new party.
The country’s major opposition party the PDP is now being sent to the dustbin of history in Kano and some north western states as the nation prepares for 2023.
With the gale of defection to the NNPP will Kano APC put its house in order an appease the aggrieved.?
