Sulaiman Kawu Sumaila, the senator representing Kano South, has lost hundreds of followers since he abruptly defected to the APC last week. They maintain their allegiance to Kwankwaso and argue that he acted alone.

The Senator Kawu Sumaila followers who trooped to Miller Road, Kwankwaso Country Home, declined to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and decided to stay in the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, stating, “we are not yes sir boys.”

Citing an internal problem that he claimed was plaguing the NNPP, Senator Sumaila recently defected from the party to the APC.

The Honorable Muntari Ibrahim Faruruwa led the group of defectors, who originated from Takai Local Government Area and sections of Sumaila Local Government Area. Under Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s leadership, they were formally reintroduced into the Kwankwasiyya political movement.

“Our great leader, we are here to inform you that we have refused to join the APC alongside the Senator representing our zone. Instead, we prefer to come back home. So, we are back.

“We thought it wise to return home so as to continue to propagate the ideals of the Kwankwasiyya movement and the NNPP, as well as contribute our quota to the development of our dear state.

“We hope that we will be accepted back and reintegrated into the Kwankwasiyya movement and the NNPP to enable us to enjoy the same rights and privileges as other members,” the group said.

Sen. Kwankwaso greeted the returnees and commended them on their decision to rejoin the NNPP and the Kwankwasiyya movement after seeing the light.

According to him, the Kwankwasiyya movement aims to empower individuals, particularly women and young people, by educating them and providing them with various tools to become self-sufficient, which will benefit both the individual and society.

“On behalf of myself, His Excellency the Governor of Kano State and the State Government, the NNPP and the Kwankwasiyya movement, I congratulate you for taking this all-important decision.

“I pray that all other members of this movement who had left us will return home so as to continue to contribute their quota to the progress and development of Kwankwasiyya and Kano State,” Kwankwaso said.

Senator Rufa’i Sani Hanga (NNPP Kano Central) characterized Kwankwaso as a progressive leader who has consistently fought for the advancement of common people in his speech.

According to Hanga, the Kwankwasiyya movement leader exhibited these attributes throughout his two terms as Kano State’s governor, when he built the state, particularly in the fields of roads, agriculture, health, and education.

He wished the supporters of former Senator Sumaila a successful stay in the system and commended them on their smart move to rejoin the Kwankwasiyya movement and the NNPP.
