A former Commissioner for Rural and Community Development in Kano State, Abbas Sani Abbas, has officially left the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Daily Reality reports that Abbas Sani Abbas was dismissed from his role last month during a cabinet reshuffle by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. Announcing his defection during a visit to the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, in Kano, Abbas expressed his commitment to the APC.
Senator Barau shared the news on his verified social media account on Friday night, stating, “Joined by the Chairman of our party in Kano State, Prince Abdullahi Abbas (Ɗan Sarki, Jikan Sarki), and other party leaders, we proudly embraced Hon. Abbas, a dedicated grassroots mobiliser, to our party.”
He added, “I assured him of our unwavering support as we work together to build a better future for the people of Kano State and, indeed, all Nigerians. Together, we will continue to promote the values of good governance, inclusivity, and service to humanity.”
