About 1,500 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who have defected to the ruling New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) have been received by the Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdulsalam.
The defectors, drawn from various wards of Gwarzo local government areas of the state, were officially welcomed to the NNPP.
Receiving the Decampees in his office, the Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam commended the decision of the defectors describing it as a bold step towards supporting Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s administration in delivering good governance and developmental projects.
He assured them of equal opportunities and full integration into the party structure.
“We are happy to welcome our brothers and sisters into the NNPP family. This is a testament to the growing acceptance of our party’s vision for Kano State and Nigeria as a whole,” Gwarzo said.
The leaders of the defectors, Malam Abdullahi Tiga and Aliyu Sulaiman explained that their decision to leave the APC was due to what they described as the party’s failure to meet the aspirations of the people.
They expressed confidence in the NNPP’s leadership and pledged their unwavering support.
Chairman of Gwarzo Local Government, Dr Mani Tsoho assured the defectors of equal treatment and opportunities in the local government.
Party officials and supporters at the event reiterated their commitment to strengthening the NNPP ahead of future political contests, urging more people to join the party.
Details of the engagement was contained in a press statement by the Deputy Governor’s Chief press Secretary Ibrahim Shuaibu.
