Friday, September 6, 2024 Popular Kannywood singer, Ali Isa Jita, has dumped the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
This was contained in a
statement issued by the Special Adviser to the Deputy President of the Senate
on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, which indicated that Ali Jita
announced his defection to APC when he paid a courtesy visit to the Deputy
President of the Senate at his residence in Abuja on Thursday.
Receiving the singer, the Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin
described Jita’s defection to APC as a welcome development.
“As a young and talented artist, Ali Jita will bring his wealth of
experience and expertise to the party, which will pave the way for the
development of the music and the entire Kennywood industry. I welcome you to
the largest party. You are welcome on board,” the lawmaker said.
Ali Jita, who is also the chairman of the Kano Singers Association known as
Murya Daya, described Senator Barau as a father figure.
“I was dragged to the Kwankwasiyya Movement by its leader, Senator Rabiu
Musa Kwankwaso. But today, I have dropped my red cap; I am no longer in the red
cap movement. I am now a full-fledged member of the APC,” he said.
He
assured APC that he would use his ability and talent to contribute to the
party’s journey.
