The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, on Thursday received decampees from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) into the party.
The decampees were led by Kano South Senator, Kawu Sumaila, who had earlier confirmed his departure from the NNPP on Wednesday.
“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,” Kawu wrote on his Facebook page.
