Over 500 NNPP members defect to APC in Kano

No fewer than 500 members of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) from Fagge and Ungogo Local Government Areas of Kano State have officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The defectors were received by the Managing Director of the Hadejia-Jam’are River Basin Development Authority (HJRBDA), Engr. Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, who described their decision as a reflection of renewed trust in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership and the APC’s progressive agenda.

Bichi noted that APC’s development-oriented policies were attracting Nigerians, citing defection of some governors as testament to the party’s strength.

He assured the new members of equal opportunity and integration into APC, saying no member would be marginalised.

Bichi highlighted APC-led government’s visionary policies on food security and economic growth, noting that Hadejia-Jam’are River Basin’s modern irrigation techniques align with Tinubu’s food security agenda.

Former APC National Chairman Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, represented by Kano APC Chairman Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, commended the defectors for joining APC, assuring them of sustainable development commitment.

Kano Central APC Chairman Alhaji Shehu Aliyu Ungogo said Tinubu’s policies had boosted Nigeria’s economy, restoring public confidence in APC.

The new comers cited APC’s developmental strides and commitment to improving the lives of Nigerians as reasons for dumping NNPP.
