KANO – A member of the Kano State House of Assembly representing Sumaila Constituency, Hon. Zubairu Hamza Masu, has defected from the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Masu, in a resignation letter addressed to the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Ismail Falgore, and read during Monday’s plenary, cited internal crises, including factional disputes and ongoing litigations, as his reasons for leaving the NNPP.

He specifically pointed to multiple claims of leadership within the party at both state and national levels, naming Dr. Suleiman Hashim Dungurawa and Senator Mas’ud El-Jibrin Doguwa at the state level, and Dr. Ahmed Ajuji and Dr. Agbo Major at the national level.

Hon. Masu’s resignation takes effect from May 12, 2025.

He pledged his full allegiance to the APC leadership at all levels.

Recall that Masu was said to be among NNPP bigwigs who were recently received into the APC by the national Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Ganduje.
