The National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed happiness over the decision of Senator representing Kano North, Kawu Samaila and others to abandon the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) for the APC.

Kabiru Alasan Rurum, former Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, former members of the National Assembly, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, immediate-past Secretary to Kano State Government, former Commissioners and other major stakeholders of the NNPP) officially joined the APC on Thursday in Abuja.

In a statement released Friday in Abuja by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, applauded the decision and assured the incoming leaders and their teeming supporters of effective accommodation in the APC family.

“The Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is delighted by the decision of Senator Kawu Sumaila representing Kano South Senatorial District, serving members of the House of Representatives led by Hon. Kabiru Alasan Rurum, former Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, former members of the National Assembly, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, immediate-past Secretary to Kano State Government, former Commissioners and other major stakeholders of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to join the APC.

“Our great Party applauds this decision and assures the incoming leaders and their teeming supporters of effective accommodation in the APC family.

” We are confident that this development, a clear endorsement of the focused leadership of President Bola Tinubu, will further galvanize support for the administration’s unprecedented multi-sector reforms, and positions the Party for overwhelming victory in Kano state in the upcoming 2027 general elections.”
