Kawu Sumaila, senator representing Kano south, has confirmed
his defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
In May 2022, Sumaila, who is a former member of the house of
representatives, dumped the APC for the NNPP.
However, in a Facebook post on Wednesday, Sumaila, who also
served as senior special assistant to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari on national
assembly matters, announced his return to the ruling party.
“Yes, it is true — the rumours regarding my defection are accurate,” he wrote.
“All politics is local, and my primary concern has always
been, and remains, the welfare of my immediate constituency.
“I am resolutely determined to advance the lives of my
people, ensuring their needs are met and their future is secured.”
His defection adds to the growing list of politicians
joining the APC ahead of the 2027 general election.
On Wednesday, Sheriff Oborevwori, governor of Delta state,
defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.
“We came to the inevitable conclusion that moving out of the
PDP is very, very necessary for us to be able to collaborate with our kith and
kin and build that state that every Deltan will be proud of,” Charles Aniagwu,
Delta state commissioner for information, announced.
