Over 50 APC members defect to NNPP in Kano

More than 50 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kibiya Ward, Kibiya Local Government Area of Kano State, have defected to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

The defectors were received by the Kano State Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Alhaji Adamu Kibiya, who welcomed them into the party during a ceremony in Kibiya on Wednesday.

According to a statement signed by the Director of Public Enlightenment, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Balarabe Kiru, the commissioner commended the new members for their decision and attributed their defection to the visible achievements of Governor Abba Yusuf’s administration.

Kibiya highlighted the governor’s strides in health, education, infrastructure, empowerment, and agriculture, saying the government’s people-focused policies were transforming lives across Kano State.

He assured the new NNPP members of equal opportunities within the party and urged them to remain dedicated to advancing Governor Yusuf’s development agenda.

Speaking on behalf of the defectors, Yakubu Alhaji said they decided to join the NNPP due to Governor Yusuf’s commitment to good governance and grassroots development.

He alleged that the APC administration had failed to execute meaningful projects in Kibiya Local Government over the past eight years, describing its policies as “self-serving and disconnected from the people’s needs.”

Also speaking, the Councillor representing Kibiya Ward, Auwalu Sarki, revealed that more political groups were preparing to join the NNPP in the coming weeks.

He commended the commissioner for his efforts in strengthening the party’s presence in the area and promoting Governor Yusuf’s people-oriented policies.

Sarki noted that Kibiya’s leadership and community engagement had been instrumental in attracting widespread support for the ruling party at the local level.
