Dutse, Jigawa state – Mukhtari Ibrahim Gagarawa, the chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Jigawa state, is dead.
TimesNow.com.ng reports that Gagarawa is a one-time chairman of Gagarawa local government area (LGA).
Details of the NNPP leader’s passing are sketchy, but Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a key leader of the NNPP in neighbouring Kano state, confirmed the sad development.
Kwankwaso wrote on his verified X account on Friday, November 15:
TimesNow.com.ng reports that although it is predominantly active in Kano state, the NNPP is also popular in Jigawa state.
The party contested the 2023 Nigerian general election, but its flagbearer, Kwankwaso, came in fourth place, winning only one state, its stronghold of Kano. It also controls just one state in Nigeria – Kano.
Already, the NNPP and Kwankwaso have their eyes on the next Nigerian general elections in 2027 with the former Kano governor vowing to emerge victorious.
