Kano Lawmaker Kawu Defects From Nnpp To Apc

KANO Senator Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila, representing Kano South Senatorial District, has officially defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP to the ruling All Progressives Congress APC.

The former Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly House of Representatives Matters confirmed his defection in a brief statement to journalists in Kano.

Yes, it is true the rumors regarding my defection are accurate. All politics is local, and my primary concern has always been, and remains, the welfare of my immediate constituency, Senator Sumaila stated. I am resolutely determined to advance the lives of my people, ensuring their needs are met and their future is secured.

Senator Sumaila was among four lawmakers previously suspended by the NNPPs Hashimu Dungurawa-led faction in Kano over alleged anti-party activities. The other suspended lawmakers included Kabiru Alhassan Rurum Rano/Kibiya Federal Constituency, Ali Madakin Gini Dala Federal Constituency, and Sani Abdullahi Rogo Rogo/Karaye Federal Constituency.
