Kano governor’s aide resigns after dumping NNPP for APC

A New Nigeria People Party (NNPP) chieftain, Sani Dambo, has resigned his appointment with Kano State governor, Abba Yusuf, to join the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Before Dambo, the special adviser on Investment to governor Abba Yusuf, Rabiu Durun, also resigned from his appointment to join the APC.

Also, Abdulraham Mai Kadama, the senior special assistant to the governor on entrepreneurship, also resigned from his appointment on 15 August.

Kadama was the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement in Plateau State and G-6 in Kano State before defecting to the APC.

Deputy Senate president, Barau Jibrin, received Dambo at his Abuja residence on Monday.

“Today (Monday), I welcomed a distinguished personality, Alhaji Sani Abdulkadir Dambo, a top aide to the Kano State Governor, into the All Progressives Congress (APC),” Barau said.

“His return marks a homecoming, and I am proud to see him pledge his commitment to supporting the APC in Kano and at the national level.”

Barau described the new party members as ‘expertise’ and that will add value to the APC collectively.

He also announced Rabiu Alhassan Durun, another strong political figure from Kabo LGA, has defected to the APC.

“Both men have shown their dedication to progress, and their decision to join us reflects their confidence in our vision for Nigeria. May Almighty Allah guide and bless our efforts,” Barau said.
