Yusuf receives 30 ZLP, NRM members to NNPP

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf on Tuesday received 30 members from opposition parties who joined the ruling New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).

The new NNPP members include top-ranking members who contested various elective positions in the 2023 general elections in Kano under the platforms Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) and National Rescue Movement (NRM).

The former opposition members were warmly embraced by NNPP at a special occasion held at Africa House, Government House, Kano.

In their separate declaration, the leaders of the two opposition parties revealed their decision to join the ruling NNPP was informed by Governor Yusuf’s sincere intention to build a viable society.

Shehu Nuhu one of the leaders said he was convinced by the government’s laudable projects, especially in the health and education sectors, a major consideration to return to NNPP.

He reminded that the NNPP administration would sustain an unwavering commitment to socio-economic development, especially across all critical sectors of the economy.

“What we are doing is nothing other than implementing our party’s manifesto, Kwankwasiyya ideology and our blueprint,” Yusuf said.

“Be rest assured that you will be carried along in the NNPP’s affairs and policies and programmes of the present administration for the overall development of Kano.”
