Kwankwaso, Kano NDC Chairman Resolve Party Crisis

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kano State has moved past a significant internal crisis, with a recent meeting between former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and state Chairman Hussaini Mairiga marking a turning point. This engagement, involving key party stakeholders, successfully ironed out disagreements concerning the party's structure and leadership within the state.

“

We had a fruitful discussion with Sen. Kwankwaso and other critical stakeholders of our great party. All lingering issues have been amicably resolved in the interest of unity and progress.

Mairiga's confirmation of the resolution and his subsequent pledge of support for Kwankwaso signal a new era of unity for the NDC in Kano. This development is crucial for the party as it seeks to consolidate its position and prepare for upcoming electoral contests. The resolution aims to foster collective effort towards the party's growth and success.

The crisis had stemmed from Kwankwaso's defection to the NDC alongside Peter Obi, which had raised questions about party control. Tensions were exacerbated by earlier rejections of alleged moves to cede leadership to Kwankwaso and separate meetings that failed to yield consensus. The suspension of the party's planned state congress further fueled speculation about leadership restructuring.

“

As a party, we have agreed to move forward together, and we recognise Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as our leader in Kano State.

This resolution is particularly significant for the NDC in Kano, as it demonstrates the party's capacity to overcome internal rifts and present a united front. The focus now shifts to collective action and adherence to party ideals, underscoring the importance of internal harmony for electoral viability.

“

I call on all our members to remain steadfast and work collectively for the growth of the party. This resolution marks a new beginning for the NDC in Kano.
