NNPP, families agree on replacing late Kano lawmakers

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State has announced that it has reached a mutual agreement with the families of two late members of the Kano State House of Assembly regarding their replacement. According to the state chairman, Dr. Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, the agreement was reached after extensive consultations led by the party’s national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. The discussions, which involved key party leaders and members of the bereaved families, took place at Kwankwaso’s residence in Kano.

Dungurawa said the talks were frank and respectful, resulting in a clear understanding of the process for replacing the late lawmakers. The party is considering Sa’ad Aminu Sa’ad and Nabil Aliyu Daneji—the sons of the deceased assembly members—as potential replacements. The two lawmakers died on 24 December 2022 after battling separate illnesses, leaving vacant seats in the Kano State Assembly.

The NNPP is committed to handling the replacement exercise in a smooth, respectful, and lawful manner, adhering to party rules and electoral guidelines. Dungurawa expressed confidence that the potential successors would uphold the standards and public‑service record of their fathers, continuing their legacy of dedication. This replacement process is significant because it ensures continuity of representation for the people of Kano State in the assembly. The party’s commitment to transparency and respect for the families, as well as its adherence to electoral guidelines, will be closely watched as the transition moves forward, impacting stability and public trust in the Kano State Assembly.
