Seriake Dickson meets Kwankwasiyya movement to resolve Kano NDC disputes

The leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has begun efforts to resolve internal disagreements in Kano State after holding a private meeting with representatives of the Kwankwasiyya movement.

In a statement released on Tuesday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, the meeting involved NDC National Leader, Henry Seriake Dickson, and other senior party officials.

The talks focused on addressing tensions between the Kwankwasiyya movement and longstanding NDC members in Kano.

According to the statement, the intervention was aimed at promoting unity, inclusion and wider participation as the party concludes its internal election process.

“The closed-door meeting was aimed at resolving the issues between the Kwankwasiya movement and the legacy officials of NDC in Kano State,” the statement said.

The party said Dickson and other leaders are actively working to ensure that all stakeholders are involved in party affairs. It also stressed that no candidates would be imposed in Kano or elsewhere in the country.

“The NDC leadership will not impose candidates in Kano State, and indeed across the nation, as the party cherishes the virtues of internal democracy,” the statement added.

The NDC described the discussions as productive, saying they lasted several hours and focused on finding common ground among those involved.

The party also dismissed reports claiming to show the results of its primary elections, insisting that no official results have been released.

“The NDC has not released any official results of its primary elections in any state. Hence, the public and party members are urged to disregard any such list in circulation,” the statement said.

Party officials said the clarification was necessary to prevent misinformation and reassure members that due process would be followed before any primary election results are announced.
