The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State says it has reached a mutual understanding with the families of the two late members of the Kano State House of Assembly on how they will be replaced.
Speaking in an interview with DCL Hausa, the state chairman of the party, Dr. Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, said the agreement followed wide consultations led by the party’s national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
According to Dungurawa, Kwankwaso met with key party leaders and members of the bereaved families at his residence in Kano, where they discussed the way forward.
“There is understanding and respect on all sides. We sat down, talked frankly, and agreed on the process,” Dungurawa said.
He noted that the party is hopeful that Sa’ad Aminu Sa’ad and Nabil Aliyu Daneji, who are being considered as replacements, would live up to the standards and public service record of their late fathers.
“We believe they will continue the legacy of service and dedication their fathers were known for,” he added.
The two lawmakers died on December 24, 2025, after battling separate illnesses, leaving vacant seats in the Kano State Assembly.
Dungurawa stressed that the NNPP is committed to handling the replacement exercise smoothly, respectfully, and within the law, adding that all steps will follow party rules and electoral guidelines.
