Monday, November 3, 2025 - No fewer than 1,000 members of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and the Kwankwasiyya Movement have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State.
The development was contained in a statement issued on
Sunday by Ismail Mudashir, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Deputy
President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin.
According to the statement, the defectors gathered at the
Fine Time Events Centre in Kano, where they were officially received into the
APC.
The statement revealed that the defectors said their
decision was inspired by what they described as the numerous interventions of
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Jibrin.
Leader of the defectors, Aminu Minjibir, said they had
contributed greatly to the growth of the Kwankwasiyya Movement but were no
longer satisfied with the NNPP’s performance in addressing the needs of Kano
residents.
“We worked hard for the success of the movement, but the
NNPP has failed to deliver meaningful change to the people,” Minjibir said.
While receiving them, Senator Jibrin described their move as
a wise decision.
He said the APC remains the largest political party in
Africa and is focused on improving the lives of Nigerians.
He urged others to join the APC for the progress of the
state and the country.
