Katsina NNPP directs members to register with ADC
The Katsina chapter of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) has directed all members across the 34 local government areas of the state to register with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The secretary of the party in the state, Tijjani Kafinsoli, announced the decision in an interview with journalists in Katsina on Wednesday.
In preparation for the 2027 elections, the national leader of the NNPP, former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has joined the ADC.
According to Mr Kafinsoli, the NNPP chairman in the state, Armaya’u Abdulkadir, announced the decision following a directive from the party’s national headquarters.
He explained that all executive members and other office holders of the party should remain in their respective positions, except for those who wish to resign and pursue other political careers.
Mr Kafinsoli said: “All party officials, from the ward up to the state level, should hold on and not individually join the ADC, because the entire party will move into the party collectively.
“However, all NNPP card-carrying members who do not hold any position should quickly obtain the ADC membership card and attach it to their voter card.”
According to Mr Kafinsoli, discussions are ongoing between the two parties in order to have a single-structure party ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
