In a recent development in Kano state, Chairmen, councillors, and women leaders from the All Progressives Congress (APC) have defected to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). This move has been seen as a significant victory for NNPP, as it includes defectors from different local government areas in Kano state. Among the defectors is Lawan Aramposu, who is the local government chairman of the National Chairman of APC, Abdullahi Ganduje. The NNPP state chairman, Hashimu Dungurawa, attributed the defectors’ attraction to the exemplary leadership qualities of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. He introduced the new party members to the governor on Saturday, February 10.
