The latest defection was another set of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) members from Minjibir and Ungogo local government areas of the State.<\/p>\n

Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje received scores of the supporters who defected to the APC in Minjibir and Ungogo areas.<\/p>\n

The defecting supporters removed their symbolic Kwankwasiyya red caps and threw them over to the campaign podium amid thunderous ovations from the crowd.<\/p>\n

They said that they embraced the APC as the only party that would satisfy their yearnings and aspirations for a better Kano State and Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Gov. Ganduje, who received the defectors, welcomed them into the party and congratulated them for taking such a wise decision.<\/p>\n

He then commended the large turnout of people at the rally, describing it as unprecedented.<\/p>\n

Ganduje urged the people to vote massively for all the APC candidates in the forthcoming general elections.<\/p>\n
