Dickson leads closed-door peace talks to halt Kano NDC crisis

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is actively engaged in resolving internal conflicts within its Kano State chapter, specifically mediating between the influential Kwankwasiya movement and established party officials. Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, the party's National Leader, is spearheading closed-door discussions to foster greater inclusion and participation among all members.

“

The close door meeting was aimed at resolving the issues between the Kwankwasiya movement and the legacy officials of NDC in Kano State.

The party has issued a statement clarifying that no official results from its primary elections have been released in any state. It urged members and the public to dismiss any circulating lists, reinforcing its dedication to internal democracy and vowing not to impose candidates.

Senator Dickson and the NDC leadership are mediating in the process in order to enhance inclusion and participation by every party member.

This mediation effort comes in response to a fresh crisis in Kano, where some NDC officials accused former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, the leader of the Kwankwasiyo movement, of attempting to dominate the party structure. Despite these allegations, the Kwankwasiyo movement has denied reports of Kwankwaso planning to leave the NDC, labeling such claims as false. The ongoing talks aim to ease tensions and maintain party unity in the region.

The NDC leadership will not impose candidates in Kano State, and indeed across the nation as the party cherishes the virtues of internal democracy.
