In a major political shift in Kano, more than 1,000 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have defected to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State.
The defection took place in Tofa and Ghari Local Government Areas of the state where the defectors officially joined the NNPP.
They were welcomed by the state party chairman, Dr. Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa, during a ceremony held at both locations.
The event was marked by the flag-off of the NNPPβs chairmanship campaign ahead of the upcoming local government elections.
Among the notable attendees were the NNPP candidates for the elections, Yakubu Ibrahim Adis of Tofa and Hashimu Mai Sabulu of Ghari.
Both candidates voiced confidence in the NNPPβs growing strength in the region, especially with the influx of new members.
