In a major political shift, Yahaya Sa’idu Kwankwaso, a former councillor from Kwankwaso Ward in Madobi Local Government Area—home of NNPP's national leader and 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso—has officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) alongside other key members of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the area.
This move, seen as a significant gain for the APC, took place during a visit to a prominent party figure’s residence, where the defectors announced their decision to leave the NNPP. Among the group were Hon. Abdulhamid Ahmad Diso, the former Deputy Speaker of Gwale LGA, and Hon. Shu’aibu Isa Kubaraci, who joined the APC citing its impressive developmental progress in Kano State and nationwide. They lauded the APC as the largest political party in Africa, driven by a vision for sustainable development and good governance.
In a related development, Hon. Garba Alhassan Dawaki, a former PDP leader, led a group of ex-councillors and members from Dawakin Kudu LGA into the APC fold. The new members were warmly welcomed and encouraged to contribute to the party’s mission of fostering progress and stability in both Kano State and Nigeria as a whole, marking a growing trend of political realignment in the state.
