In a significant development, Hon. Sa’adatu Salisu Soja MaiJamaa, the Executive Chairperson of Tudun Wada Local Government Area, has tendered her resignation from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP). The resignation, effective immediately, was conveyed in a letter dated January 23, 2026, addressed to the party’s leadership in Tudun Wada Local Government Area.
According to the letter, which has been made available to the press, Sa’adatu’s decision to leave the party is motivated by her desire to align with the political vision of Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf. She expressed her intention to follow the governor’s lead, stating that her resignation would enable her to support the state’s development agenda and initiatives that benefit the people of Kano.
The resignation letter highlights Sa’adatu’s appreciation for the support she received from the NNPP leadership and members during her time with the party. Her decision, she emphasized, was carefully considered to ensure that she could contribute meaningfully to the state’s progress through projects and initiatives that align with Governor Yusuf’s vision.
Sa’adatu’s resignation comes as the political landscape in Kano State continues to evolve. As a key figure in the local government, her decision to leave the NNPP may have implications for the party’s presence in the region. The move also underscores the ongoing realignments within the state’s political sphere, as leaders and stakeholders position themselves in relation to the governor’s agenda.
With her resignation, Sa’adatu joins a growing number of politicians who have chosen to support Governor Yusuf’s vision for Kano State. As the state continues to navigate its development trajectory, the impact of such moves will likely be closely watched by observers and stakeholders. For now, Sa’adatu’s decision marks a significant shift in her political affiliation, one that she believes will enable her to make a more meaningful contribution to the state’s growth and development.
