Over 100 APC members defect to NNPP in Kano
The Kano State Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Adamu A. Kibiya, has officially received more than 100 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who defected to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Tarai, Kibiya Local Government Area of the state.
The development was confirmed in a statement issued on Wednesday in Kano by Balarabe Kiru, the Director of Public Enlightenment at the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
Mr Kiru said that the defectors, led by APC woman leader, Sabuwa Tarai, cited the development projects and programmes executed by Gov. Yusuf’s administration as the reason for their decision to join NNPP.
“We are impressed by the numerous projects executed by Gov. Yusuf at the local government and state level,” Mrs Tarai said.
The commissioner assured the defectors of equal treatment and welcomed them to the NNPP family, urging them to work together for the party’s progress.
