Ganduje’s Chief Of Staff Joins NNPP by ogododo(op): 1:05pm On May 14, 2022
Ali Makoda, who was until Friday the Chief of Staff to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

He confirmed this to Daily Trust via a text message on Saturday.

He is the latest bigwig of the APC in Kano to join the fast rising NNPP.

Meanwhile, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau of Kano State has shunned an invitation to resolve the crisis between him and Ganduje.


Daily Trust had reported how a private jet was dispatched to Kano to ferry Ganduje and Shekarau to Abuja so as to finally reconcile the duo and stop the planned defection of Shekarau to NNPP.


It was gathered that while Shekarau was planning to depart his Mudunbawa Kano residence for the airport in the midnight, he got feelers that it was not President Muhammadu Buhari or the presidency that called for the meeting.

The meeting, according to sources familiar with the development, was discovered to be organised by the national Chairman of APC, Abdullahi Adamu, and some APC governors.

This development, it was gathered, proved to Shekarau that there was no sincerity in the reconciliation process and led him to shelve the plan to attend.


Similarly, it was gathered that the national leader of the NNPP, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as well as other former bigwigs of APC who joined NNPP on Friday like a former speaker of the state assembly and current federal lawmaker, Alhassan Rurum, as well as a former aide to President Muhammad Buhari on legislative affairs, Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila, stormed Shekarau’s residence after Ganduje’s visit and exerted commitment from him that he will not renege on his planned defection.

Baring last-minute change, all is now set for Shekarau to formally announce his defection to NNPP.

For those who don’t know, Shekarau was a lecturer at a Legal College when he defeated the incumbent Governor of Kano who happened to be Kwankwaso, did 2 terms and instated Kwankwaso back to finish his other term. Shekarau holds huge power in Kano politics, over look him at your own peril.

This shows Kwakwanso is still highly influential in Kano politics.

I thought Babajide Kolade Otitoju of TVC says it’s impossible for Shekarau and Kwakwanso to be in the same party. This planned defection has proved Babajide wrong.

Also, Buhari wouldn’t meddle in any brouhaha enroute to this 2023 general election since he’s not on the ballot.

I won’t be surprised if NNPP eventually wins the governorship seat in Kano state and also wins some federal and state legislative seats.

Let’s refill our popcorn and enjoy the season film in the cinema called Nigeria house of absurdities.

Almost all Kano prominent politicians will end up in NNPP before 2023 election. No matter the plea and intervention of Presidency Shekarau will cross to NNPP sooner or later.
Kwankwaso has done so much for Kano especially youths that nobody can match in Nigerian in area of education, infrastructure empowerment and social amenities.
More than 5000 youths were sent abroad to further their education (PhD and MsC) in his last term in office. The condition of their screening to get the scholarship is, the candidates must have minimum of 2:1 and must be children of parents who can't afford to send their children to further their education and the conditions were strictly followed. Nobody is loved by masses in Kano like Kwankwaso.
He created more than 20 tertiary institutions in Kano for Technical Education in poultry farming, Sport school for learning football agency, refereeing, scouting, coaching, school of information and communication Technology among others in different parts of the state.

Hundreds of Kano youths were sent to Aviation school and became Pilots which make Kano a state with highest number of pilots in Africa. In his speech on their departure to the aviation school he asked them to stay abroad and work where ever they get job if possible.
In almost all Northern universities especially the new ones there are Kwankwasiyya scholars Lecturing.

Kwankwaso is an unstoppable train in Kano. Yes, he may not be able to win Presidential seat under NNPP but Kano is completely neutralised for both APC and PDP!

I'm not a card carrying member of any party and supporting NNPP at National level is a waste of vote. Abuja politics is the best not that Kano brouhaha, Kwankwaso is too local for National politics because he invested so much in Kano and do his most piliticking in KANO!
