Senator representing Kano South Senatorial district, Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila has officially confirmed widespread speculation about his political defection from New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Sumaila confirmed this through a text message sent to him to confirm what he earlier posted on his Facebook page.
He said, “Yes, it is true, the rumors regarding my defection are accurate. All politics is local, and my primary concern has always been, and remains, the welfare of my immediate constituency,” he said.
The senator added that, “I am resolutely determined to advance the lives of my people,” he said.
While details regarding his new political alignment are yet to be made public,.
it can be recalled that Kawu Sumaila had publicly distanced himself with Senator Kwankwaso’s faction of the NNPP and as such the state leadership of the party suspended Kawu together with two house members, Kabiru Alhassan Rurum and Ali Madakin Gini.
