Senator representing Kano South, Senator Kawu Sumaila has defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to All Progressives Congress (APC).
Confirming the development on Facebook, the senator hinged it on his unwavering commitment to the welfare of his constituents.
Sumaila, a former Member of the House of Representatives, left the APC for NNPP in May 2022.
He said, “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.
“I am resolutely determined to advance the lives of my people, ensuring their needs are met and their future is secured.”
Sumaila’s defection further swells the ranks of the ruling APC, following the defection of Delta governor, Sheriff Oborevwori and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
