Abbas Sani Abbas, the former Commissioner for Rural and Community Development in Kano State, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) after leaving the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP). The announcement was made during his visit to a prominent APC leader in Kano, where he pledged his allegiance to the ruling party.
Hon. Abbas, known for his grassroots mobilization and dedication to community development, explained that his decision to switch parties was guided by a desire to contribute more effectively to good governance and development. “I believe the APC offers the platform to achieve the vision of a better Kano and a stronger Nigeria,” he stated.
The defection was celebrated by top APC leaders in Kano, including the party’s state chairman, Prince Abdullahi Abbas. The APC leader commended Hon. Abbas’s decision and assured him of full support. “Hon. Abbas Sani Abbas is a dedicated grassroots mobilizer and a leader committed to the service of humanity. We are proud to have him join our great party,” he remarked.
Prince Abdullahi Abbas emphasized the party’s commitment to inclusivity and development. “Together, we will continue to promote the values of good governance, inclusivity, and service to humanity. This is a significant moment for our party in Kano as we strengthen our ranks with capable individuals like Hon. Abbas,” he added.
The former commissioner’s experience and dedication are expected to add value to the party’s efforts in Kano State and beyond. Party loyalists and political observers in Kano have hailed the defection as a significant boost for the APC, particularly in its grassroots mobilization efforts.
Many believe Hon. Abbas’s entry into the APC will solidify the party’s influence in rural communities across the state. Hon. Abbas concluded by expressing optimism about his new political journey. “I am fully committed to working with the APC leadership to ensure a brighter future for Kano State and Nigeria as a whole,” he said.
This development comes after a series of defections from the NNPP to the APC in Kano State. According to reports, hundreds of NNPP leaders and members have dumped the party and joined the APC in recent months.
