The major political parties in Kano State, namely the All Progressives Congress and the New Nigeria People’s Party, have faced severe internal conflicts, marked by the suspension of key lawmakers such as Senator Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila following political realignments and cross-party interactions. While party leaders and factions have clashed over disciplinary measures and strategic control ahead of future elections, chieftains from both sides continue to maneuver for grassroots influence and dominance within the state. Meanwhile, the state governor has emphasized focusing on governance and service delivery rather than political tensions, urging stakeholders to avoid inflammatory rhetoric that could disrupt the democratic process.
