NOTE

MAJOR POLITICAL CRISIS IN NIGERIA
THE KANO RIOT OF 1953

The Kano riot of 1953 refers to the riot, which broke out in the ancient city of Kano, located in Northern Nigeria, in May 1953.

The nature of the riot were clashes between Northerners who were opposed to Nigeria's Independence and Southerners, made up of mainly the Yorubas and the Igbos who supported immediate independence for Nigeria. The riot that lasted for four days claimed many lives of the Southerners and Northerners and many others were wounded.

 

CAUSES OF THE 1953 KANO RIOTS.

  1. The fear of Southern Domination of Northerners.
  2. The anger nursed by the northern masses over the treatment given to NPC members of the House of Representatives in Lagos.

 

EASTERN REGION CRISIS OF 1953.

The crisis started on January 30, 1953 and lasted till May 6, 1953.

 

CAUSES OF THE EASTERN REGION CRISIS OF 1953.

The crisis arose due to the internal split and power struggle within NCNC. In the first place, the party members from Lagos failed to elect their party leader Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe into the House of Representatives in Lagos.

In the second place, the party leaders did not agree on whether or not they should continue to support the MacPherson Constitution.
