The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, officially welcomed former members of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) into the party on Thursday.
Leading the group of defectors was Kano South Senator, Kawu Sumaila, who had announced his resignation from the NNPP just a day earlier.
“Yes, it is true — the rumors regarding my defection are accurate. All politics is local, and my primary concern has always been, and remains, the welfare of my immediate constituency. I am resolutely determined to advance the lives of my people, ensuring their needs are met and their future is secured,” Kawu wrote on his Facebook page.
About a day after the declaration, the lawmaker and other defectors were received by Ganduje, who said the APC winning the next election was sealed.
“I don’t want to reveal our secret, but what I’m telling you is that APC 2027 is a done deal,” the former Kano governor said.
