NNPP LAWMAKER, KAWU SUMAILA DEFECTS TO APC.

The lawmaker representing Kano South Senatorial District, Senator Kawu Sumaila, has defected from the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

Senator Sumaila cited compelling and undeniable developments within the NNPP, which have rendered the party severely divided and dysfunctional, as the reason for his defection.

In his letter which was read during plenary on Wednesday by Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, the lawmaker mentioned that the NNPP has been plagued by litigations, lack of functional leadership, and legitimacy issues, leading to the creation of parallel and conflicting authorities within the party. 

He also noted the existence of multiple factions with distinct party logos, underscoring the depth of the division.

Sumaila declared that he has joined the APC, which he believes will better support his legislative responsibilities and the aspirations of the people of his senatorial district.
