Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>No fewer than 1,000 members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kano State have defected to the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP.<\/p>\n

The defection took place in Tofa and Ghari LGAs of the state as the defectors aligned themselves with the Kwankwasiyya Movement led by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.<\/p>\n

The new NNPP members were welcomed by the state party chairman, Dr. Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa, during a ceremony held at both locations.<\/p>\n

The event was marked by the flag-off of NNPP\u2019s chairmanship campaign ahead of the upcoming local government elections.<\/p>\n

Present at the event were the NNPP candidates for the elections, Yakubu Ibrahim Adis of Tofa and Hashimu Mai Sabulu of Ghari.<\/p>\n
