Kano Senator Dumps NNPP, Rejoins APC
Kano South Senator Kawu Sumaila has officially announced his defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) back to the All Progressives Congress (APC), marking a significant political shift ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Sumaila, who previously served in the House of Representatives and as a senior special assistant to former President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly Matters, left the APC in May 2022 to join the NNPP. However, in a Facebook post yesterday, he confirmed his return to the ruling party.
“Yes, it is true — the rumours regarding my defection are accurate,” he wrote. He emphasized that his decision was driven by a commitment to his constituents, stating, “All politics is local, and my primary concern has always been, and remains, the welfare of my immediate constituency. I am resolutely determined to advance the lives of my people, ensuring their needs are met and their future is secured.”
Sumaila’s return adds to the growing wave of political realignments as several politicians reposition themselves within the APC ahead of the next election cycle.
