A member of the Kano State House of Assembly representing Sumaila Constituency, Zubairu Hamza Masu, has officially defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a resignation letter addressed to Speaker Ismail Falgore, and read during Monday’s plenary at the floor of the house, Masu cited internal crises, including factional disputes and ongoing litigations, as his reasons for leaving the NNPP.
He specifically pointed to multiple claims of leadership within the party at both state and national levels, naming Dr. Suleiman Hashim Dungurawa and Senator Mas’ud El-Jibrin Doguwa at the state level, and Dr. Ahmed Ajuji and Dr. Agbo Major at the national level.
Masu’s resignation takes effect from May 12, 2025. He pledged his full allegiance to the APC leadership at all levels.
His official decamping followed the official resignation from the party of Senator Kawu Sumaila who represents Kano South at the Senate.
