Hundreds of members of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) from Fagge and Ungogo Local Government Areas of Kano State have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The defectors were received on Tuesday by the Managing Director of the Hadejia–Jam’are River Basin Development Authority, Alhaji Rabiu Suleiman Bichi.
Bichi said the mass defection reflected the growing confidence Nigerians have in the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the progressive vision of the APC.

He noted that Nigerians were increasingly embracing the ruling party due to its development-oriented policies, adding that the defection of some state governors to the APC further demonstrated the party’s national strength.
Bichi assured the new members of equal opportunity within the party and highlighted ongoing efforts by the Hadejia–Jam’are River Basin Development Authority to boost food production through modern irrigation techniques in line with the President’s food security agenda.
Representing the immediate past National Chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the Kano State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, commended the defectors for their decision to join the ruling party.
He assured them of inclusion and support, saying the APC remains committed to delivering sustainable development across the country.
