Crisis Erupts In Kano South: Lawmakers Snub Gov Yusuf, Hold Secret Emergency Meeting.
Lawmakers from Kano South Senatorial District held what they described as a “critical meeting” to discuss their political future amid rising dissatisfaction with Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s leadership.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The meeting, led by Senator Kawu Sumaila, included prominent members of the House of Representatives such as Alhassan Doguwa, Kabiru Rurum, Abdulmumin Jibrin, and Abdullahi Rogo.
The development came just a day after Sumaila and Rurum reportedly boycotted an invitation from Governor Yusuf to attend an enlarged meeting with All Progressives Congress (APC) members of the State and National Assembly, fueling speculation about deepening divisions within Kano’s political ranks.
Sources familiar with Monday’s meeting, held in Senator Sumaila’s Abuja office, told Daily Nigerian that lawmakers extensively deliberated on their political direction.
The legislators reportedly expressed frustration over what they see as political neglect of Kano South by the state government. They alleged that the governor and his inner circle have made key political decisions affecting the zone without proper consultation.
“We are engaging with serving and former lawmakers, as well as former party leaders who were recently sidelined from our zone,” one source said. “We are also consulting top businessmen, clerics, and other stakeholders from Kano South to chart a new political course.”
Another source revealed that the aggrieved lawmakers may meet with Governor Yusuf to present their concerns and proposals.
While it is unclear whether the lawmakers are considering joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC), sources suggested they may take a decisive political stand if their grievances are not addressed.

A heated political exchange has erupted within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential race, as camps backing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s rivals push back against his claims of superior popularity, especially in the North.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso rejected Atiku’s assertion that he remains the dominant northern vote-getter, insisting that such claims do not reflect today’s political realities.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement, aligned with a potential Obi-Kwankwaso ticket, dismissed Atiku’s influence in the North as largely elite-driven, arguing that Kwankwaso enjoys more genuine grassroots support.
Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi also reacted, faulting Atiku’s position and questioning the logic of relying solely on regional identity as a basis for presidential ambition.
Atiku, in a recent interview, had maintained that none of his northern rivals, including Kwankwaso, can match his electoral strength, while downplaying Kwankwaso’s influence beyond Kano State.
His remarks sparked criticism across political circles, with some opposition figures describing them as arrogant and dismissive of other contenders.
Kwankwaso’s camp, however, maintained that both Kwankwaso and Obi have more “organic” support bases compared to politically induced followership, warning that such comments could deepen divisions within the ADC coalition.
Amaechi also argued that the ADC presidential ticket should be determined through a competitive primary rather than consensus, insisting that all aspirants should be tested at the ballot.
The growing disagreement highlights rising tension within the opposition alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections, as key figures intensify positioning for the party’s presidential ticket.
