Six ‘Kwankwassiyya’ Kano lawmakers defect to PDP

Six ‘Kwankwassiyya’ members of the Kano State House of Assembly have defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The legislators, who are loyal to former Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso announced their defection in a letter they sent to the House.
In the letter read by the Speaker, Alhaji Kabiru Rurum, the six lawmakers said they defected to PDP “based on the premise that the party (APC) has failed to meet the aspirations and yearnings of the people we represent.”
The defectors include Yusuf Babangida Sulaiman (Gwale), Rabiu Saleh (Gwarzo) , Zubairu Mahmud (Madobi), Yusuf Abdullahi Falgore (Rogo), Hamza Sule (Bichi) and Isiaku Ali Danja (Gezawa).
Their defection came barely 24 hours after the Deputy Governor, Prof Hafiz Abubakar, resigned and defected to PDP along with 10 other aides of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
The House of Assembly has 40 members.
