May 6, 2026 • Dons Eze • 1 min read

A high-level political reconciliation meeting was held on Tuesday in Kano State involving former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and the Chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kano, Hussaini Mairiga, aimed at resolving an escalating leadership crisis within the party.

The dispute had threatened internal stability, triggered by disagreements over party structure, authority, and post-defection integration arrangements.

The meeting, which took place on May 5, 2026, brought together key stakeholders of the NDC in Kano to address tensions arising from leadership claims and control of party structures following Kwankwaso’s recent political realignment alongside other national figures.

The discussions focused on restoring unity, preventing factional breakdown, and strengthening the party ahead of future elections.
