Kano’s political landscape witnessed a significant ce as 774 members of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing renewed faith in the ruling party’s leadership and developmental priorities.
The political realignment was marked by a formal reception held in Rimin Gado Local Government Area, where Alhaji Rabiu Bichi, Managing Director of the Hadejia-Jam’are River Basin Development Authority, welcomed the new entrants. He praised their move as a strategic and forward-thinking decision, emphasizing that the APC remains the most viable vehicle for national transformation.
Bichi described the defectors as fortunate to be joining a party he believes is delivering on its promises. He highlighted President Bola Tinubu’s infrastructure and social investment projects in Northern Nigeria as evidence of the administration’s dedication to progress.
He revealed that Kano State alone has benefited from over 18 completed federal projects worth billions of naira, underscoring the APC’s commitment to regional development. However, he expressed concern that some states were misallocating federal funds, diverting them from intended development purposes.
Bichi also pointed to the Renewed Hope Agenda as a catalyst for positive ce, noting improvements in economic ility and food security through targeted agricultural initiatives. He assured the new members that they would be seamlessly integrated into the party’s structure and enjoy equal rights and opportunities.
Representing the group of defectors, Mohammad Karofin-Yashi explained that their decision was motivated by the visible progress under the APC government. He expressed confidence in the party’s ability to lead Kano and the nation toward a more prosperous future.
Karofin-Yashi also pledged to rally additional supporters, hinting that more NNPP members were preparing to follow suit in the coming weeks.
Im not convinced about these defections. Are they genuine or just political maneuvers? Soing seems fishy here.
I cant believe the NNPP members switched to APC! Do you think its a smart move or a betrayal of their party?
Seems like political musical chairs in Nigeria! Wonder whats behind these mass defections. Any theories?
Wow, thats a big shift! I wonder what prompted the NNPP members to defect. Politics can be so unpredictable.
I wonder if this defection will really make a difference in the upcoming elections. Politics, man, its always a rollercoaster!
