Defectors Join APC In Kano, Received By Barau

Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, on Sunday, September 1, received defectors from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State.

The defectors were led by the leader of the Askarawan Kwankwasiyya in Dawakin Kudu Local Government Area and former chairman of Bagwai Local Government Area, Alhaji Aminu Ibrahim Gogori.

Barau received the NNPP members at his Abuja residence, according to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir.

Alhaji Bala Uba Kulkul, a leader of Askarawan Kwankwasiyya in Dawakin Kudu LGA led 15 commanders of the movement to the APC.

With their defection, they have fussed into the Askarawan APC in Kano State.

Kulkul said they decided to dump the NNPP in view of the outstanding leadership style of the Deputy President of the Senate.

He pledged to mobilise their commanders in the 44 local government areas of Kano State to work for the APC at the grassroots.

Barau, who is the First Deputy Speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament, thanked them, pledging that they would be treated equally like all other members of the APC.

He reiterated the commitment of the APC to address the challenges facing the country, urging all to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his efforts to return the country to the path of progress and prosperity.

Gogori said they decided to dump the NNPP over the failure of the party leaders to fulfill the pledges they made to them while joining the party.

Thanking them for returning to the APC, Barau said:” “I want to start by thanking Allah SWT for this development. APC is your home. You left and now you are back to your rightful place, the APC, the largest political party in Africa. Welcome back. Insha Allah, you won’t regret this action.”
