Top leaders of the New Democratic Party (NDC) in Kano State are actively trying to retain two prominent senators, Rufai Hanga and Kabiru Gaya, as the 2027 elections approach. Concerns have arisen due to widespread speculation that both senators are considering a move to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The Kano NDC chairman has directly appealed to the senators, urging them to remain committed to the party. This plea reflects a broader anxiety within the NDC regarding potential losses of key figures before the next electoral cycle. The senators' potential defection could significantly weaken the NDC's position in the state. The situation highlights the fluid nature of Nigerian politics and the ongoing competition between political parties for influence. The outcome of these discussions could reshape the political landscape in Kano State.
