2027: Odds favour Obi, Kwankwaso as NDC zones presidency to South

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has formally zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to Southern Nigeria and the vice‑presidential slot to the North, a move widely seen as boosting the chances of Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso emerging as the party’s leading ticket. Delegates at the party’s maiden national convention in Abuja adopted a resolution restricting the presidential ticket to the South for a single four year term, after which power would rotate to the North in 2031. The zoning motion, moved by Afam Victor Ogene, member representing Ogbaru Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, was unanimously endorsed by delegates. Party leaders said the arrangement was designed to promote fairness, balance and internal stability while addressing long running agitations over power rotation between regions. Former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso publicly backed the decision, telling delegates that zoning the […]

Dickson, Obi, Kwankwaso arrive NDC convention

National leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Seriake Dickson, has arrived at the party’s inaugural national convention in Abuja alongside former presidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Their presence at the event signals a major step in the consolidation of a new opposition platform ahead of the 2027 general elections. Obi, the 2023 Labour Party standard bearer, and Kwankwaso, who contested under the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), recently exited the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and are now key figures in the emerging NDC coalition. The duo had earlier held a closed door strategy meeting with Dickson in Abuja, where they discussed ideology, governance blueprint and shared priorities such as education, youth empowerment, security and national unity. Video clips from the convention venue show the crowd erupting as Obi, Kwankwaso and Dickson make their entrance, with […]

Stop fueling religious division, Muslim League tells foreign critics of Tinubu govt

A Muslim advocacy group, the Muslim League Unity Group, has warned foreign based actors against what it calls attempts to inflame religious tensions in Nigeria through misinformation and politically motivated narratives. In a statement jointly signed by Professors Ahmed Umar Daudu and Yunusa Bala Maikafi, the group accused some international Christian organisations, particularly in the United States, of circulating “doctored reports” about alleged persecution of Christians under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. It warned that such claims risk deepening distrust and unnecessary division among Nigerians who have historically lived together peacefully despite their different faiths. The group criticised recent comments attributed to United States Senator Ted Cruz, who was reported to have alleged attacks on Christian schools and places of worship by Muslims in Nigeria. It said the remarks form part of a broader agenda to incite division and promote […]

U.S. bill targets Kwankwaso, Miyetti Allah over alleged religious violations

A new bill before the United States Congress could see former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and some Fulani groups hit with visa bans and asset freezes over alleged violations of religious freedom. The draft law, titled Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026, seeks targeted sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act.​ The bill, sponsored by five US lawmakers including Riley Moore, lists Kwankwaso, Fulani ethnic nomad militias, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria MACBAN and Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore among those that could face punishment. It also urges the US State and Treasury Departments to either impose sanctions or explain to Congress why they have not done so.​ Some sections of the proposed legislation direct the US Secretary of State to determine whether certain Fulani militias qualify to be designated as foreign […]

NNPP distances itself from Kwankwaso over judges’ visit claim

The New Nigeria People’s Party has distanced itself from former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso over his claim that he took Governor Abba Yusuf to meet some Supreme Court judges in 2019.​ In a statement by its National Secretary, Oginni Olaposi Sunday, the party said Kwankwaso was not a member of the NNPP at the time the alleged visit took place. It described reports linking the party to the allegation as misleading and asked the Nigerian Bar Association to remove NNPP’s name from any related petition to the Inspector General of Police.​ The party explained that Kwankwaso only joined the NNPP a few months before the 2023 general elections, alongside Buba Galadima, Prof Rufai Alkali, Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, Prof Hanga and Abba Yusuf.​ NNPP also rejected claims that Kwankwaso is a founding member. It stressed that the party was […]

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 […]

Kwankwaso and Governor Yusuf split over APC defection move

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s plan to defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party to the All Progressives Congress has widened his rift with NNPP leader Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and split the party’s structures in Kano. As Yusuf marked his 63rd birthday in Abuja with top officials and allies, Kwankwaso stayed back in Kano, opening a loyalty register for office holders and holding meetings with Kwankwasiyya loyalists to confirm who still stands with him.​ The governor is said to enjoy the backing of all 40 members of the Kano State House of Assembly and the 44 local government chairmen, positioning him strongly for a move to the APC. However, NNPP federal lawmakers from Kano are divided, with some already crossing to the APC while others, such as Umar Mukhtari Zakari of Tarauni, openly oppose the defection plan.​ Several […]
