  "summary": "The Peoples Democratic Party has dissolved its Kano State Working Committee with immediate effect. According to a letter signed by the PDP National Organising Secretary, Hon. Umar M. Bature, dated September 24, 2026, the decision was made after consultations by the party's National Working Committee.\n\nThe dissolution only affects the State Working Committee, with the Ward and Local Government Area working committees remaining intact. A caretaker committee from the North-West region will oversee the Kano chapter's affairs until a new executive is elected.\n\nThe removed State Chairman, Dr Bello Gambo Bichi, has accepted the decision, stating it was a sacrifice for the unity of the party. According to Bichi, the dissolution was a precondition set by former governorship candidate Muhammad Bello Dalhatu, who stepped aside for Muhammad Sani Abacha.",
