Following recent defections of a gubernatorial aide and NNPP ward officials to the APC, NNPP national leader Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso held an emergency meeting with the Kano State House of Assembly Speaker and others to block Governor Abba Kabiru Yusuf's planned switch to the APC. The effort highlights deep party divisions, with the move labeled a betrayal by opponents.

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has dismissed rumors of plans to remove Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II from his position. He stated that his recent political defection will not alter the current status quo regarding the emirate.

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has opposed a United States proposal to blacklist Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. This follows a suggestion by five US lawmakers for visa bans and asset freezes against the former Kano State governor. The move may stem from Kwankwaso's response to Donald Trump.
