The article is an analysis of functions and contents of Hausa proverbs in the Nigerian political discourse. Hausa proverbs (karin magana) are short linguistic formations, durable sayings with fixed interpretations. In formal terms, karin magana (just as proverbs in other languages) are the units of text, the minimal (finished) texts which are used in utterance as set ready-made quotes. The source material for the analysis covers selected press texts published in some of the most popular Nigerian newspapers in Hausa whose main theme is politics. The titles of these newspapers are as follows: Aminiya, Albishir, Al-Mizan and Leadership A Yau. All press articles used for the analysis were published between the 30th of January and the 27th of February 2019 when the Nigerian General Election was held. The analysis has shown that proverbs are a significant element of press language and have various functions in the structure of journalistic texts. Analyzing the contents expressed in the proverbs, it was observed that their general meanings are solidified in the context of current political events, which allows them to be used as rhetorical figures aimed at influencing the reader in the intended manner.
