Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has officially resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP). In a resignation letter addressed to his ward chairman, Yusuf cited the party’s persistent internal crises and legal battles as the primary reasons for his departure, stating his decision was made in the “best interest of the people of Kano State.”
In the letter, Governor Yusuf expressed gratitude to the NNPP for providing the platform for his election in 2023. However, he pointed to “persistent internal challenges arising from leadership disagreements and ongoing legal processes” that have created deep divisions and uncertainty within the party at both state and national levels.
His resignation is part of a major political realignment in the state. According to reports, 21 members of the Kano State House of Assembly, 8 members of the House of Representatives, and 44 Local Government Chairmen are also resigning from the NNPP alongside the governor.
The party’s ward secretary, who acknowledged the resignation, commended Yusuf’s performance in office while concurring with his assessment of the party’s “lingering crisis,” stating they had “no option than to accept the resignation.” The mass defection marks a significant shift in Kano’s political landscape.
