The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on Tuesday held a closed-door meeting in Abuja with Senator Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila and House of Representatives members Kabiru Alhassan Rurum and Aliyu Sani Madaki — all currently of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
According to a post by Aminu Dahiru, the Senior Special Assistant to the APC National Chairman on Visual Communication & Events, the meeting was confirmed via his verified social media handle.
It was gathered that the meeting is part of ongoing preparations for the lawmakers’ anticipated defection from the NNPP to the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The opposition lawmakers have had a long-standing disagreement with the leader of the NNPP and Kwankwasiyya movement, Dr. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso.
