Welcoming Kano’s 8 NNPP federal lawmakers to the APC
Today, I joined the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Abbas Tajudeen; the Executive Governor of Kano State, Engr Abba Kabir Yusuf, the immediate past National Chairman of our party, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and others to formally receive eight members of the House of Representatives, who defected from the New Nigerian People's Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Speaker announced the lawmakers' defection during plenary. They are: Deputy Minority Leader (Dala), Aliyu Sani Madaki; Ghali Mustapha (Ajingi/Albasu/Gaya; Shehu Muhammad Bello (Fagge); Dankawu Idris (Kumbotso); Hussain Hassan Shehu (Nassarawa); Rabiu Yusuf (Sumaila/Takai); Muhammad Garba Chiroma (Gezawa/Gabasawa); Ibrahim Mohammed (Gwale); and Tijjani Abdulkadir Jobe (Tofa/Dawakin-Tofa/Rimingado) federal constituency.
I congratulate them on the bold and strategic decision to join the largest political party in Africa, the APC.
Their defection further strengthens the APC's growing influence in Kano State and reinforces our collective commitment to delivering good governance and impactful representation to the people.
With the addition of these grassroots, experienced and dedicated lawmakers, the APC is well-positioned to consolidate its leadership in Kano State and, by the grace of Almighty God, achieve victory in the forthcoming general elections.
Once again, we warmly welcome them to the APC.
