Over 100 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Tarai in Kibiya Local Government Area have defected to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
Their defection was confirmed in a statement released on Wednesday in Kano by the Director of Public Enlightenment, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Balarabe Kiru.
According to the statement, the defectors were led by the APC woman leader, Hajiya Sabuwa Tarai, who said their decision was influenced by the numerous development projects and programmes initiated by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s administration.
“We are impressed by the numerous projects executed by Gov. Yusuf at the local government and state level,” Tarai stated.
Welcoming the new members, the Kano State Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Alhaji Adamu A. Kibiya, assured them of equal treatment and urged them to work collectively for the continued growth and success of the NNPP.
