Governor Kabir Abba Yusuf of Kano State resignation from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) last Friday triggered widespread defections across the state.
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that alongside the governor, 22 members of the Kano State House of Assembly, eight members of the House of Representatives and 44 local government chairmen resigned from the NNPP. They are expected to complete their registration with the APC today.
The 22 members of the Kano State House of Assembly include the Speaker, Rt Hon. Jibril Ismail Falgore (Rogo); Deputy Speaker, Rt Hon. Muhammad Bello Butu Butu (Tofa/Rimin Gado); Majority Leader, Lawan Hussain (Dala); Deputy Majority Leader, Garba Shehu Fammar (Kibiya); Chief Whip, Muddasir Ibrahim Zawachiki (Kumbotso); and Majority Whip, Zakariyya Abdullahi Nuhu (Gabasawa).
Others are Lawal Tini (Ajingi), Musa Tahir Haruna (Albasu), Ali Lawan Alhassan (Bagwai/Shanono), Ali Muhammad Tiga (Bebeji), Hafiz Gambo (Bunkure), Rabiu Shuaibu (Dawakin Kudu), Tukur Mohammed (Fagge), Murtala Muhammad Kadage (Garko), Abdulmajid Isah Umar (Gwale), Ahmad Ibrahim (Karaye), Alhassan Zakari (Kura/Garun Malam), Suleiman Mukhtar Ishaq (Madobi), Abdulhamid Abdul (Minjibir), Muhammad Ibrahim (Rano), Kabiru Sule Dahiru (Tarauni) and Ali Abdullahi Manager (Wudil).
The lawmakers endorsed the governor’s decision to leave the NNPP and said they were awaiting further directives on their next political move.
With 13 existing APC members in the Assembly, the anticipated defection of the 22 lawmakers alongside the governor is expected to give the APC a comfortable majority of 35 members.
According to Daily Trust, political analysts said the numerical strength would make it easier for any move initiated by the governor’s loyalists, including impeachment proceedings, to scale through.
