The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has launched efforts to resolve internal conflicts in Kano State following a closed-door meeting between party leadership and representatives of the Kwankwasiyya movement. The discussions, held on Tuesday, involved NDC National Leader Henry Seriake Dickson and other senior officials, aimed at easing tensions between the Kwankwasiyya faction and long-standing party members in the state. The meeting was part of broader efforts to ensure unity, inclusivity, and fair participation as the party finalizes its internal election process ahead of upcoming elections.
According to a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, the talks focused on bridging divides and fostering collaboration among all stakeholders in Kano. The NDC emphasized that the intervention was designed to strengthen party cohesion and uphold democratic principles within its structures. Dickson and his team stressed that no candidates would be imposed in Kano or any other state, reaffirming the party’s commitment to internal democracy.
The discussions lasted several hours and were described as productive, with both sides engaging in dialogue to find common ground. The NDC leadership expressed confidence that the meeting would lead to greater harmony and collective ownership of party affairs in Kano. Party officials also reiterated that all members and the public should remain patient as the electoral process continues in accordance with established procedures.
In a move to combat misinformation, the NDC dismissed circulating reports claiming to reveal the results of its primary elections. The party stated that no official results have been released in any state, urging members and the public to disregard any unofficial lists or claims. This clarification was made to ensure transparency and prevent confusion during a critical phase of the party’s internal elections.
The NDC’s leadership remains focused on maintaining credibility and fairness in its electoral processes. By prioritizing dialogue and inclusivity, the party aims to build a stronger, more united platform for future political engagements. As the party moves forward, stakeholders are expected to adhere to due process and await official announcements from the national leadership. The resolution of internal disputes in Kano could serve as a model for similar efforts in other states, reinforcing the NDC’s position as a party committed to democratic values and unity.
