In a recent development, Mohammed Jamu, a chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Kano state, has dismissed moves by the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, to reconcile with his former boss, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. There has been a longstanding feud between both politicians, who are both former governors of Kano state. Abdullahi Ganduje had served as the deputy to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for two terms and later succeeded him, leading to some tension between them.
Speaking in a new interview monitored by Legit.ng, Jamu, who is a top supporter of Kwankwaso, expressed the NNPP’s ignorance of any move to end hostilities in Kano state. According to the NNPP chieftain, the party only learned about the purported reconciliation move through the media, and they were not consulted. This revelation calls into question the sincerity of the reconciliation efforts, as it appears that the stakeholders directly involved are not being properly engaged.
It is worth noting that Jamu’s statements were made during his appearance on Trust TV’s Daily Politics. This interview, which was published on Wednesday, January 31, has shed light on the current state of affairs between Ganduje and Kwankwaso, as well as their respective political parties. With the NNPP expressing surprise and ignorance about the reconciliation move, it is evident that there may be underlying challenges that need to be addressed before any meaningful progress can be made.
In the same vein, it has been reported that supporters of the NNPP and APC in Kano state have been clashing in some remote areas, raising concerns about potential unrest and violence. While no loss of life has been recorded, the state commissioner of police and his management team have initiated measures to mitigate the brewing tension. Security operatives have deployed community solutions to reconcile the warring parties, highlighting the urgent need for broader and more effective conflict resolution strategies.
Given the current state of affairs in Kano state, it is imperative for all parties involved to prioritize dialogue, cooperation, and peaceful coexistence. Reconciliation efforts should involve active engagement with relevant stakeholders, including political parties, community leaders, and security agencies. By fostering a climate of inclusivity and mutual respect, it becomes possible to chart a path towards sustainable peace and progress in Kano state.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial for Nigerians to stay informed and engaged with developments in Kano state. The complexities of political dynamics and inter-party relations require careful attention and thoughtful action. With the right approach and commitment to peace-building, there is hope for a positive resolution that serves the best interests of the people of Kano state.
