Kwankwasiya: NDC moves to resolve Kano crisis

The leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress says it is intensifying efforts to resolve internal disagreements in Kano following a closed-door meeting with leaders of the Kwankwasiya movement.
This is contained in a statement issued by the party’s spokesman, Osa Director, in Abuja.
Mr Director said the delegation of the national leadership of the Kwankwasiya movement met with the party’s national leader, Seriake Dickson, and the NDC leadership.
The meeting was convened to address issues between the Kwankwasiya movement and legacy NDC officials in Kano State.
The party leadership is seeking to foster unity, inclusion and broader participation among members.
According to Messrs Director, Dickson and the NDC leadership are serving as mediators in the reconciliation process, stressing that the party remains committed to internal democracy and will not impose candidates in Kano or any other part of 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,” he said.
The party described the meeting, which lasted several hours, as productive and expressed optimism that ongoing engagements would strengthen cohesion within its ranks.
The NDC also dismissed reports claiming that official results of its primary elections had been released, insisting that no such results had been announced in any state.
The party, therefore, urged members and the general public to disregard any purported list of primary election results currently circulating, warning that such information did not emanate from its leadership.
Mr Director reaffirmed the party’s commitment to a transparent and democratic process as it continues consultations ahead of its forthcoming political activities.
