The Kano State Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Alhaji Adamu Kibiya, has welcomed over 50 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Kibiya ward in Kibiya Local Government Area to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the area.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Director of Public Enlightenment, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Balarabe Kiru, today in Kano.
Kibiya welcomed the APC supporters to the NNPP, citing Governor Abba Yusuf’s commitment to good governance and development projects, reports Vanguard.
Kibiya said that the Governor had implemented projects in health, education, infrastructure, empowerment, and agriculture, benefiting Kano residents.
He assured the new NNPP members of the party’s support and urged them to remain steadfast in ensuring the administration’s success.
Yakubu Alhaji, leader of the decamped APC supporters, said they joined NNPP in recognition of the party’s commitment to development and good governance under Governor Abba Yusuf administration.
He lamented that the APC administration had no development projects in the area in the past 8 years, alleging that its policies were self-serving rather than people-oriented.
The Councilor, Kibiya Ward, Auwalu Sarki, disclosed that more groups were set to join the NNPP, praising the commissioner’s efforts in promoting the party and Yusuf’s policies in Kibiya Local Government Area.
Sarki said that the commissioner’s work had been instrumental in attracting supporters to the party.
