The Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial District, Rufai Sani Hanga, has asked former New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) local government chairmen in the district to return vehicles earlier provided to them following their defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The lawmaker made the demand in a letter dated January 28, and signed by the Secretary to the Senator’s Office, Engr. Ibrahim Nakwalli Kawaji.
A copy of the letter, addressed to the NNPP chairman of Kura Local Government Area, Ubale Isyaku Waskas, ordered him to return “the party vehicle provided to you by the Distinguished Senator Rufai Hanga for NNPP activities in your local government” to the senator’s office at No. 48, Sokoto Road, Nasarawa GRA, Kano.
It directed that the vehicle be returned between January 28 and January 30, 2026.
According to the letter, the vehicle would be kept at the senator’s office pending the resolution of the party’s internal crisis, while urging the recipient to continue serving the party faithfully during the period.
According to Daily Trust, the directive applies to all NNPP local government chairmen under the Kano Central Senatorial District.
The affected local government areas include Dala, Dawakin Kudu, Fagge, Garun Mallam, Gezawa, Gwale, Kano Municipal, Kumbotso, Kura, Madobi, Minjibir, Nasarawa, Tarauni, Ungogo and Warawa.
The letter further stated that the vehicles must be handed over directly to the head of the senator’s office, Shehu Tijjani Usman Tarauni, stressing the need for immediate compliance on the grounds that the vehicles are party property.
