The leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement in Gobirawa Ward, Dala Local Government Area of Kano State, Alhaji Amadu Danfulani, has defected to the All Progressives Congress, (APC).
Danfulani announced his defection at the APC state Headquarters in Kano, citing disappointment with the Kwankwasiyya Movement and its leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
He also criticised the state ruling New Nigeria People’s Party, (NNPP), accusing it of pursuing what he described as “anti-people’s policies.”
His defection was received by the APC Zonal Chairman for Kano Central, Alhaji Shehu Aliyu Ungoggo, who represented the state chairman, Abdullahi Abbas.
Other party leaders at the event included Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, Managing Director of the Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority; the APC chairman of Dala Local Government, Alhaji Munir Haruna; and the Gobirawa Ward chairman of the party.
Ungoggo said the APC remained open to members of other political parties who wish to defect, provided they abide by its rules and constitution.
Danfulani was accompanied by some of his supporters, whom he said had also left the NNPP for the APC.
