Politics tears Kano governor’s home apart
The Daughter of Musa Kwankwaso, the wife of Kano state governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, has ditched her husband.
The mother of six children,
Zainab Musa Kwankwaso, has approached the court to dissolve her marriage.
Her marriage has broken down irretrievably because of the political rift between her husband and her father.
While Kwankwaso stands as the running mate to Mr Peter Obi pf National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yusuf is an adept supporter of President Bola Tinubu of All Progressives Congress (APC).
Zainab, the second wife of Yusuf, instituted divorce proceedings at an Upper Area Court sitting in Gudu, Abuja.
Court filings sighted by NigerianSketch—originally reported by DAILY NIGERIAN—indicate that the court has issued a civil summons (Suit No. CV/97/26) ordering Governor Yusuf to appear before it on Tuesday, November 17, 2026.
