The New Nigerian People's Party (NNPP) in Katsina State has instructed all its members to register with the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This directive, issued on Wednesday in Katsina, covers party members across all 34 local government areas in the state. NNPP State Secretary Tijjani Kafinsoli confirmed the move during a discussion with journalists. He stated that the decision aligns with a broader strategy by the national leadership of the NNPP. No further details were provided on the rationale behind the shift or how it would affect the party's operations in the state. The ADC is one of the recognised political parties in Nigeria, though it holds minimal presence in Katsina.
A state party secretary announcing members should join a different party raises immediate questions about NNPP's internal stability. Tijjani Kafinsoli's directive suggests the NNPP in Katsina may be dissolving or merging, but without confirmation from the national leadership, members are left in uncertainty. This move, if final, could weaken NNPP's footprint in northern Nigeria. For voters in Katsina, it means another shift in political alignment without clear explanation.
