1,331 Ganduje’s kinsmen dump APC for NNPP in Kano


 

No less than 1,331 All Progressives Congress, APC, members from the Dawakin Tofa hometown of the National Chairman of the Party, Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje have decamped to the ruling New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State.

The decampees, said to be mainly from 11 wards of Ganduje’s Dawakin-Tofa local government area, vowed to work against the return of APC in Kano.

Prominent among the former APC leaders who decamped to the NNPP included a former Vice Chairman, Dawakin-Tofa local government area, Malam Isyaku Dahiru Kwa, former state House of Assembly aspirant, Hon. Audu Magaji Tumfafi, Bashir Musa Sani, APC Youth Leader for Takai Organization, among others.

Receiving the defectors at a grand  reception held at Dawakin-Tofa, State Chairman of NNPP, Alhaji Hashimu Sulaiman Dungurawa applauded the ingenuity of the Ganduje’s kinsmen for deciding to dump APC.

One of the leaders of the decampees, Isyaku Dahiru Kwa alleged that Ganduje’s inability to develop Dawakin-Tofa local government area during his eight years tenure was the major reason for their decision.

Kwa also claimed that the former governor lacked ability to manage the affairs of the party at the national level.

Dungurawa, responding, declared that NNPP under the spiritual leadership of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was committed to entrenching socio-economic and infrastructural development in Kano.

While assuring the newest members of NNPP equal opportunity within the party caucus, Dungurawa dispelled rumour of mass defection of NNPP members to APC.

According to Dungurawa, “we learnt one APC man has been receiving members of NNPP into APC.

“Let me remind the Abuja man that we have checked the roll call of our members and we have not noticed any reduction in the volume of our numerical strength.

“Perhaps, I need to advise the Abuja APC man to shine his eye and beware of 419 people coming to collect the public fund in his disposal in the name of decampees.

“In any ways, we would not blame anyone claiming to have decamped from NNPP to APC simply to collect his own share from the disposable income”
