2 KANO LAWMAKERS DUMP NNPP FOR APC.

Two federal lawmakers from Kano State, Kabiru Usman and Abdullahi Sani, have defected from the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), citing internal crises within the NNPP as the reason for their defection.

The lawmakers, who represent Rano/Bunkure/Kibiya and Karaye/Rogo federal constituencies, announced this during a plenary session at the House of Representatives.

Their defection marks a significant shift in Kano's political landscape, given the NNPP's stronghold in the state during the last general elections.

The APC's national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, and other senior party officials witnessed the defection, as another lawmaker, Oluwole Oke from Osun State, also defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC, further boosting the party's ranks.
