The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has welcomed the lawmaker representing Kano Central Senatorial District, Kawu Sumaila to the ruling party.
Sumaila was welcomed to the APC by the Abdullahi Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC) on Friday, April 25, 2025.
In a statement issued by Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the Party, the APC said Sumaila and other serving members of House of Representatives including Kabiru Rurum; the former Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly among others are highly welcomed to the party.
These crop of politicians who recently joined the ruling party all defected from the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
Morka said, “Our great Party applauds this decision and assures the incoming leaders and their teeming supporters of effective accommodation in the APC family.
“We are confident that this development, a clear endorsement of the focused leadership of President Bola Tinubu, will further galvanize support for the administration’s unprecedented multi-sector reforms, and positions the Party for overwhelming victory in Kano state in the upcoming 2027 general elections,” the APC spokesperson said.
