After governor’s exit, 21 Kano lawmakers join APC with Abba Yusuf

Twenty-one members of the Kano State House of Assembly have defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), deepening a major political shift in the state. The move came shortly after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf formally resigned from the NNPP following his recent visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.​ In his resignation letter to the chairman of the Diso‑Chiranchi ward in Gwale Local Government Area, Yusuf cited “deepening internal crises” and “prolonged leadership disputes” within the NNPP as reasons for his exit. His defection was carried out alongside 21 state lawmakers, eight members of the House of Representatives and all 44 local government chairmen across Kano State, signalling a sweeping realignment.​ Prominent among the defectors are the Speaker of the House, Jibril Ismail Falgore (Rogo), and the Deputy […]

APC flags hoisted at Kano Govt House as Gov Yusuf prepares defection

APC flags have been hoisted at the Kano State Government House, signalling a major political realignment as Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf completes his move from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Vanguard reporters observed the flags flying at the complex on Monday, ahead of the governor’s expected formal defection.​ Yusuf, the only governor elected on the NNPP platform in 2023, recently resigned from the party, citing “deepening internal crises” and “prolonged leadership disputes” in a letter addressed to the Diso‑Chiranchi ward chairman in Gwale Local Government Area. His resignation followed a visit to President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja and has set off a wave of defections in Kano.​ So far, 21 members of the Kano State House of Assembly have dumped the NNPP for the APC, including the Speaker, in […]

Sachet alcohol ban: activists protest at NAFDAC Lagos office

Consumer rights advocates on Monday stormed the Lagos office of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to protest the planned enforcement of a ban on sachet alcoholic beverages. The demonstration was organised by the Coalition for the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and led by Comrade Olufemi Lawson.​ Lawson criticised the proposed enforcement as economically insensitive and poorly timed, warning it could worsen unemployment and hardship. He argued that manufacturers, distributors and consumers would all be hit, and questioned the policy’s consistency given that many of the affected products were previously tested, registered and approved by NAFDAC.​ He insisted that underage drinking is an enforcement problem, not a product problem, noting that sachet drinks are clearly labelled “not for sale to persons under 18”. The coalition also disputed claims of excessively high alcohol content, saying licensed […]

APC chieftain hails Gov Yusuf’s defection as turning point for Kano

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Ahmed Dankabo, has described Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s reported defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the APC as a defining moment in the state’s political history. In a statement issued in Abuja, he said the long‑anticipated move marks a watershed for Kano politics and a major milestone in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic.​ Dankabo, a member of the APC 2023 Presidential Campaign Council in Kano, said the people of the state stand to gain the most from the governor’s decision, pointing to the prospect of improved governance and stronger alignment with federal policies. He argued that Yusuf’s switch has triggered a “political tsunami” across Kano, with citizens from all walks of life embracing the ruling party.​ “The momentum on the ground is overwhelming,” he said, insisting that Kano […]

Refugees return home as Nigeria–Cameroon repatriation pact kicks in

A tripartite agreement between the Federal Government, Cameroon, Borno State and the UNHCR for the voluntary return of Nigerian refugees from Cameroon has begun yielding results, with displaced citizens now going back home. The deal covers Nigerians who fled Boko Haram and ISWAP attacks and have been living for years in camps such as Minawao in Cameroon.​ Former Senate Leader Ali Ndume commended President Bola Tinubu and the Borno State Government for fully activating the Yaoundé agreement signed in 2017. He said the accord is enabling the safe repatriation, resettlement and relocation of refugees back to communities like Gwoza Local Government Area.​ Ndume also praised the Federal Government for initiating the resettlement process and lauded Governor Babagana Zulum’s administration for spearheading reintegration efforts after more than a decade of displacement.

Troops arrest 65‑year‑old woman over drugs for Boko Haram

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested a 65‑year‑old woman, Hauwa Abulazeez, for allegedly supplying cannabis sativa to Boko Haram terrorists in parts of Borno State. She was picked up in Askira Uba Local Government Area during Operation Desert Sanity V.​ Military spokesman Lt Col Sani Uba said Hauwa is suspected to be a key conduit, distributing cannabis to Boko Haram elements operating around Askira Uba, Rumirgo, Gwahi, Wamdiyo, Uvu and Gaya, as well as several nearby communities. Preliminary investigations indicate she sourced the drugs from Sardauna (Sarti Baruwa) LGA in Taraba State and moved them along established supply routes.​ During the operation, troops recovered 14 compressed blocks of cannabis sativa weighing about 30kg, described as a significant haul meant to sustain illicit activities. The suspect is in custody undergoing further interrogation, while follow‑up operations are underway to uncover and […]

2027: Musawa warns APC against dropping Northern Muslim running mate

Minister of Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) against altering President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 presidential ticket in a way that removes a Northern Muslim running mate. She said such a move could cost the ruling party vital support across the core North.​ Speaking on Seun Okinbaloye’s Mic On Show, Musawa addressed debates over reviewing the Muslim–Muslim ticket used in 2023. She argued that dropping Vice President Kashim Shettima or replacing him with a non‑Northern Muslim would create serious political complications, given regional sensitivities.​ “If there is no Hausa, Fulani or Kanuri Muslim on that ticket, it creates a hurdle. That is the reality of the way people think,” she said, stressing that electoral politics in the North is shaped by long‑standing social and political structures. She listed Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Kebbi, […]

Nigeria back on global economic frontline, says Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after a week‑long diplomatic and economic mission to Guinea and Switzerland, declaring that Nigeria has reclaimed a frontline role in global economic and policy conversations. He represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the inauguration of Guinea’s President Mamadi Doumbouya in Conakry and led Nigeria’s delegation to the 2026 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.​ According to his media aide Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima said Nigeria used the trips to reaffirm its leadership within ECOWAS and open fresh bilateral channels, especially in agriculture and manufacturing. He stressed that the engagements underscored the Renewed Hope Agenda’s focus on regional solidarity and economic repositioning.​ A major highlight was the commissioning of Nigeria House Davos, the country’s first sovereign pavilion on the Davos Promenade, designed as a permanent investment hub for opportunities in solid minerals, agriculture and […]
