Kano’s political scene was stirred on Thursday as Abdulaziz Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, son of the immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, led thousands of supporters from Dawakin Tofa on a high-profile visit to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The delegation stormed Kwankwaso’s Miller Road residence in Kano, drawing widespread attention and fuelling intense political speculation across the state.
Kwankwaso, the national leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, warmly received the visitors, whose presence was seen by observers as a symbolic political gesture in a state known for its fierce rivalries and shifting alliances.
Although details of the closed-door interaction were not officially disclosed, the visit has already sent shockwaves through Kano’s political circles, with many interpreting it as a sign of possible realignments ahead of future contests.
Supporters who accompanied Abdulaziz Ganduje described the visit as one of “consultation and respect,” while analysts say it underscores Kwankwaso’s enduring influence and pull across party lines in Kano politics.
As reactions continue to pour in, one thing is clear: Kano’s political chessboard is far from settled—and Thursday’s visit has just added a dramatic new twist.
