A former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has formally resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), citing the need for a broader political realignment.

In a statement made available to the public, Kwankwaso explained that his decision was driven by ongoing consultations and the desire to align with a political platform that better reflects his vision for national development. He noted that the move is part of efforts to reposition himself within Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.

The development marks a significant shift in the country’s opposition dynamics, as Kwankwaso remains a key political figure with strong influence, particularly in the northern region. His next political move is expected to generate considerable attention in the coming days.
