BREAKING: Kano Speaker, Deputy, Majority Leader, 22 Lawmakers Dump NNPP, Declare Support for Gov Yusuf

In a dramatic political shake-up in Kano State, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, his deputy, the Majority Leader, and 22 other lawmakers have resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and declared their support for Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
The mass defection, confirmed on Friday, marks one of the biggest political realignments in the state since the 2023 general elections and further weakens the NNPP’s grip on Kano’s political structure.
Sources within the Assembly disclosed that the lawmakers formally communicated their resignation through letters submitted to the appropriate party and legislative authorities. The decision is reportedly linked to internal disagreements within the NNPP and growing alignment with the leadership and policies of Governor Yusuf.
The lawmakers pledged continued loyalty to the Kano State Government, assuring constituents of stability in legislative activities and uninterrupted governance.
Political observers say the development could significantly reshape power dynamics in Kano State and trigger further defections in the coming days.
As of the time of filing this report, the NNPP leadership has not issued an official response to the wave of resignations.
More details shortly.
