<p>An APC chieftain, Inuwa Waya, has said the wave of political defections and realignments currently unfolding in Kano State reflects the evolving dynamics of Nigeria’s political environment as the country approaches another election cycle.</p><div class="8XnPKMba" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Waya made the remarks during an interactive session with the Kano Online Media Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, where he addressed recent developments in party politics and governance in the state.</p>
<p>He explained that periods leading up to elections are often characterized by strategic political movements, as individuals and groups reassess their positions in line with their ambitions and ideological goals. According to him, such transitions are not unusual but rather a defining feature of Nigeria’s democratic process.</p>
<p>“It is a time of changing parties by individuals and also a time for alignment and realignment,” Waya said, noting that the approach of elections tends to expose political bottlenecks due to the fluid nature of the system.</p>

<p>He emphasized that political parties, by definition, are associations of individuals and groups with shared objectives. As a result, politicians naturally gravitate toward platforms that best align with their goals and offer opportunities for achieving them.</p>
<p>Speaking specifically on Kano politics, Waya pointed to the decision of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to join the All Progressives Congress, attributing the move to internal crises within the New Nigeria Peoples Party.</p>
<p>He said the challenges within the NNPP, including ongoing legal disputes, created obstacles that hindered effective governance. According to him, the governor’s defection has provided the stability needed to focus on developmental projects and deliver on the expectations of the people.</p>
<p>Waya further argued that political desperation among key actors often disrupts societal stability, but maintained that the governor’s move to the APC has helped restore order in Kano’s political space.</p>
<p>He also commended the administration of Governor Yusuf, stating that it has continued to make meaningful impacts on the lives of residents across the state.</p>
<p>Drawing from political theory, Waya referenced British scholar Alan Ball, noting that politics involves everyone in society, from elites to grassroots actors such as traders and artisans. He reiterated the idea that humans are inherently political beings.</p>
<p>Waya future stressed that politics should serve as a unifying force aimed at advancing society and ensuring good governance. He called on political actors to prioritize collaboration and the collective interest of the people over personal ambitions.</p>
