Former Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly Matters, Abdulrahman Sulaiman Kawu Sumaila and Chief of Staff to Governor Ganduje, Ali Haruna Makoda, has decamped to the New Nigerian Peoples Party. 

In a statement by Sumaila, yesterday, in Kano, he said more politicians would dump the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) nationwide. 

He said the party has derailed from its vision, mission and founding principles, which negates tenants of democracy. 

He lamented that the party had reached a point of no-repair, hence, nothing its members could do to restore its lost glory before conduct of the 2023 general elections.

“After wide consultations with my supporters, political associates and deep analysts of the current political situation in our dear state, it is proved that there is no serious commitment to reclaim the APC from the undemocratic elements who contributed nothing to the formation of the party.”

On his recent visit to Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, Kawu disclosed that “myself and former speaker of Kano State House of Assembly, Hon. Kabiru Alhassan Rurum visited Shekarau shortly after the state governor and his political associates visited him. We had a fruitful discussion with him.

“We have given Shekarau some cogent reasons why he should not listen to Ganduje. If Ganduje is really serious that he wants Shekarau to remain in the APC, why did he direct A.A Zaura and Bashir Lado to purchase forms for the Kano Central Senatorial seat despite the agreement that Shekarau was given automatic ticket?”
