Nasiru Abdullahi Mai Kano has emerged as the Interim Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kaduna State.
Mai Kano is a reputed grassroots politician who previously served as a member of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, representing the Unguwar Sanusi Constituency for years.
He is also a political ally of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai,
The Interim Caretaker Committee executives would serve for three months, subject to review before the general elections.
Nasiru Mai Kano, who led members of the committee, met with the national leadership of the SDP in Abuja on Wednesday to receive official recognition.
The Caretaker Committee’s Legal Adviser, Muhammad Ibrahim Zaria, confirmed the formation of the SDP committee to Daily Trust on Thursday.
“Yes, Nasiru Mai Kano is the interim chairman of Kaduna SDP. The Secretary-General is Iriniya Kantiyok, and the Vice Chairman is Honourable Mas’ud,” he said.
He further listed other officials, including three vice chairmen from the state’s three senatorial zones: Vice Chairman 1, Bashir Zakariya; Vice Chairman II, Lawal Buba; and Vice Chairman III, Bege Katuka.
There are speculations that other allies of the former governor may soon join the SDP.
El-Rufai himself has been openly critical of the state of affairs in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and several policies of President Bola Tinubu.
He has also suggested he could leave the party if the concerns he expressed were not being addressed.
El-Rufai has been a minister and governor in the past, and some have tipped him as presidential material from the North West.
