The Kano State chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party has reacted to the defection of Senator Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila to the All Progressives Congress , describing it as a relief to the party. Kawu’s defection came less than 24 hours before the statement, following his announcement that he had joined the APC. Speaking to journalists in Kano, NNPP State Chairman, Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, dismissed the significance of Kawu’s departure and described him as a disruptive figure.
So, having him out means the party can now focus on what it’s supposed to do, unlike when he was here disturbing the party,” he added. When asked whether the defection could influence other high-profile members like former Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, Dungurawa dismissed the suggestion. “No, don’t bring someone else into this. I’m referring to Kawu alone. Nobody else has said they are leaving the party.
