NDC House of Representatives aspirant defects to APC in Kano

A House of Representatives aspirant for the Kura/Madobi/Garun Malam Federal Constituency under the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mahmud Tijjani Kura, has withdrawn his candidature and defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The development was disclosed on Saturday by a prominent APC chieftain, Alhaji Aliyu Lawan Dambatta, popularly known as Majidadin Dambatta.

According to Majidadin Dambatta, he led a delegation alongside the former aspirant to a meeting with Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, during which Kura formally announced his decision to join the APC.

Majidadin Dambatta described the defection as a significant boost to the ruling party, noting that it would further strengthen the APC’s unity and political structure ahead of future elections.

He said the party remained committed to working collectively for the progress and development of Kano State and the country.

The APC stalwart welcomed Kura back into the party and expressed confidence that he would make meaningful contributions to its growth and the welfare of the people.

The defection is expected to add a new dimension to the political landscape in Kano State as parties continue to realign ahead of future electoral contests.
