The Kwankwasiyya movement made a powerful entry into Ogbabede Ward, Dekina local council of Kogi State, as over 300 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Social Democratic Party (SDP) officially joined the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
The defection was led by Husseini Umar Eniji, a prominent political figure and key driver of the Kwankwasiyya ideology in the area.
The development signals a growing momentum for the NNPP in Kogi State, further unsettling the strongholds of both the APC and SDP ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Eniji, once a fearless and influential financial member of the SDP who also contested the Dekina LGA Chairmanship, has emerged as a pivotal force in the expansion of the Kwankwasiyya movement.
In his address, Eniji reassured the new members of the NNPP’s commitment to equity and fairness, values that form the foundation of the Kwankwasiyya ideology.
He urged them to remain united and focused on building a stronger political future.
