The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has lost 500 of its members to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Fagge and Ungogo Local Government Areas of Kano State.
The Managing Director of the Hadejia-Jam’are River Basin Development Authority, Rabiu Bichi, received the defectors in Kano on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.
Bichi said their move from the NNPP reflected the growing confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s leadership and APC’s progressive vision.
Bichi stated that APC’s development-oriented policies were attracting Nigerians, citing the defection of some governors as a testament to the party’s strength.
He assured the new members of equal opportunities and integration into the ruling party, saying no member would be marginalised.
Bichi highlighted APC-led government’s visionary policies on food security and economic growth, stressing that Hadejia-Jam’are River Basin’s modern irrigation techniques aligned with Tinubu’s food security agenda.
The former APC National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, who was represented by the Kano State APC Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, commended the defectors for joining the party.
