The leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement in Gobirawa Ward, Dala Local Government Area, Kano State, Alhaji Amadu Danfulani, has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). Danfulani made the announcement on Tuesday at the APC state headquarters in Kano, expressing dissatisfaction with the Kwankwasiyya Movement and its leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. He also criticized the ruling New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the state, accusing it of implementing “anti-people” policies.
The APC Zonal Chairman for Kano Central, Alhaji Shehu Aliyu Ungoggo, received Danfulani’s defection on behalf of the state chairman, Abdullahi Abbas. Other party officials present included Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, Managing Director of the Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority; Dala Local Government APC chairman Alhaji Munir Haruna; and the Gobirawa Ward APC chairman.
Ungoggo stated that the APC welcomes members from other parties who wish to defect, as long as they follow the party’s rules and constitution. Danfulani was accompanied by supporters who also left the NNPP to join the APC.
