The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has moved to calm tensions in its Kano State chapter following reports of a fresh internal crisis over the distribution of party positions between long-standing members and new entrants from the Kwankwasiyya Movement.

In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, the NDC said its leadership had commenced mediation efforts to resolve the issues and ensure inclusion for all members.

According to the statement, a delegation of the national leadership of the Kwankwasiyya Movement held a closed-door meeting with the party’s national leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, and other NDC leaders.
