The presence of all Progressive Congress (APC) national presidents, Chairman Abdullahi Gandue and Vice President Bala Jiblin, in a personal ritual hosted by Kano opposition Sen. Kau Smaira, has sparked controversy.
Naija News reports that Smailla, who represents the Cano South Senate District under the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP), had previously defected from the APC ahead of the 2023 election due to a long-term leadership crisis within the party. It’s there.
On Friday, Jiblin said he led a delegation of federal lawmakers to attend the wedding of Smira’s children.
“Today (February 21), I will be holding the Senate delegation to the wedding of Senator Sulaiman Abdulraman Kau Smayra and the children of Alhaji Abdulmanav Yunusa Salina in the town of Smayra, Kano State. I led it.
“The wedding of Khadija Suleiman Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila and Faisal Abdulmanaf Sarina and the wedding of Maryam Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila and Bello Ibrahim Ma’aji were held by Professor Salisu Shehu, an imam of the Sumaila Jumaat Mosque.
“Our great party national chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), CFR Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, also attended the wedding. Allah blessed their union, and patience, endurance, tolerance, and And may you give me love. Congratulations to the newlyweds,” posted Zivlin.
Additionally, Ganduje and Jiblin attended the first convening ceremony of Al Istikama University, a private institution reportedly established by Smailla in the Smailla Regional Government Area of Kano.
These developments intensified the response among social media NNPP members, and encouraged speculation that Sumaila is flawed in the APC.
NNPP members questioned why they accepted opposition, including former Democratic Party (PDP) governor Ibrahim Shekalau, but as Governor Aba Yusuf and NNPP leader Rabiu Kwankwaso stand on the sidelines. I could see it.
His known phone number could not be reached on Saturday evening, so attempts to contact Smira for comments failed.
Sources say that Smila and some of his NNPP colleagues in Kano South have abdicated chiefs in the National Emirates Act 2019, abdicated chiefs of Kano, abdicated chiefs of Kano, have been abolished. This marks the premium era in which the Emirates opposed the decision to revive the abdication. The lawmakers criticized the dissolution of four additional emirates created by Gandouye’s previous administration, claiming it was against the interests of their members.
Since then, Smailla and other NNPP lawmakers in the region have distanced themselves from the state government’s activities.
If Sumaila ultimately has flaws in the APC, he will join the growing list of opposition lawmakers who have switched allegiance to the ruling party.
Currently Nigeria’s fourth largest political party, the NNPP holds Kano as its base from a legislative standpoint, and it is the only state that governs. However, in the last presidential election, party candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso won only in Kano State, taking a distant fourth place.
