The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kano State has put an end to its internal leadership wrangling following the intervention of the party’s national leadership. The dispute, which erupted after the former Kano State Governor and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement joined the party, threatened to split the state chapter. However, a special meeting convened on Tuesday by the party’s national chairman, Senator Seriake Henry Dickson, successfully restored harmony.
The meeting was attended by key figures including Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Engineer Muhammad Sabo Bakin Zuwo (Vice Chairman for the Northwest), and other senior party officials. After thorough deliberations, the gathering unanimously resolved that Honourable Husaini Isah Mai Riga should remain the chairman of the NDC in Kano State.
In a statement released by Adam Said Adam, the Director General of Social Media for the NDC Kano State Chapter, the resolution was described as a testament to the political acumen and statesmanship displayed by the Kwankwasiyya leader, who played a crucial role in mediating the conflict and ensuring party unity. The statement highlighted that the amicable resolution reflects the maturity and wisdom of the party’s leadership at all levels.
In response, Mai Riga expressed heartfelt gratitude to Senator Seriake Henry Dickson, Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Engineer Muhammad Sabo Bakin Zuwo, and the entire people of Kano State for their unwavering support and affection during the turbulent period. He also took the opportunity to apologize to anyone he may have inadvertently offended in recent days and asked for their forgiveness.
Mai Riga further prayed for divine guidance and strength for the NDC across all levels, success in the forthcoming elections, and lasting peace and development for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
