By Adamu Aminu The ongoing preparations surrounding the possible defection of Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, from the NNPP to the APC—widely seen as a point of no return from the political camp of his godfather, the warlord of the red-cap ideological movement known as Kwankwasiyya—have raised critical questions about the nature of contemporary politics. Is today’s politics driven by ideology or mere transaction? This unfolding trend has made certain realities even more glaring, leading many to believe that politics rewards survival, not loyalty. Yet, some still maintain that every general rule has its exceptions, arguing that there remain…

By Abba Dukawa There is a growing risk in prioritizing personal loyalty over institutions—a tendency that can weaken systems and erode accountability. When individuals or groups elevate loyalty above institutional checks and balances, they often overlook due process, creating power imbalances and opening the door to abuse and corruption. At this moment, RMK’s non-stop talking reveals his anxiety about losing grip on power over the governor and the administration . While Governor Abba stays silent, Kwankwaso’s voice is getting louder a sign of unease Supposedly Kwankwaso should guard his tongue . As the Prophet (PBUH) said, ‘Whoever believes in Allah…

By Bello Muhammad Sharada Ten major developments are likely to unfold if Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf switches allegiance from his party, the NNPP, to the APC. At the same time, the public would demand answers to several pressing questions already circulating amid this unfolding Kano political drama. I chose this title because the phrase “A Ci Dadi Lafiya” has become increasingly common in contemporary Kano politics. 1. Governor Abba would likely join the APC without the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. RMK has previously stated that anyone who defects will hear nothing from him except the…
Abba Dukawa Kano politics has been thrown into fresh uncertainty following reports that the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, is planning to defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

His earlier attempts had failed; notably, the current governor is the only candidate Kwankwaso attempted to install twice. Even before the recent attempt at reclaiming the political and power throne by its…

By Adamu Aminu Kano politics is steeped in theatrical absurdities and rich with lessons drawn from action and counteraction. It is a political culture shaped by push and pull pragmatism versus idealism marked by advances and reversals. In Hausa expression, this dynamic is aptly described as “Tufka da Warwara” (weaving and unweaving). At first glance, the preface of this piece may appear somewhat awkward, as the power of its wordplay seems to emerge more clearly in the second paragraph, giving the impression of a mixed or directionless prologue. Nevertheless, whatever its form, the Kano brand of politics remains a school…

By Our Reporter Barring any last-minute change, the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, is expected to defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the first week of January 2026.

By Abba Dukawa_ The impasse between Aliko Dangote—President and former Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Industries Limited—and Farouk Ahmed, former Managing Director of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), raises a critical question: does the rift stem from genuine concerns over regulatory impunity and the alleged diversion of national resources for personal gain, or is it a strategic battle by both sides to protect entrenched interests? The dispute dates back to July 2024, when the NMDPRA alleged that locally refined petroleum products—including those produced by the Dangote Refinery were inferior to imported fuel.

It has been marked annually on 9th December each year, since the United Nations Convention Against Corruption was adopted on 31 October 2003 to raise public awareness of anti‑corruption.

_By Abba Dukawa_ Whether former Defence Minister Muhammad Badaru Abubakar resigned or was quietly removed by the President, one thing is certain: the Defence Ministry urgently needs an experienced and capable leader, especially amid today’s escalating security crises. In the Tinubu administration, citing “health grounds” has become the political equivalent of “ dog ate homework” a polite euphemism for someone who has essentially been dismissed. The truth is that Badaru had no business being Defence Minister in the first place. He brought no relevant experience to the role, and his temperament was ill‑suited to a nation facing a deepening security crisis. His…
