No fewer than 1,000 members of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State.
The defectors cited numerous interventions by President Bola Tinubu and Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin as the reason for their decision.
The Special Adviser to the Deputy President of the Senate on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, in a statement on Sunday, November 2, 2025, quoted the defectors’ leader, Aminu Minjibir, as saying that they had worked tirelessly for the success of the Kwankwasiyya Movement but regretted that the NNPP was not doing enough for the people of Kano State.

Jibrin, who received the defectors, described their decision to join the APC as the best course of action, saying the NNPP’s fortunes were on a downward slide.
The lawmaker commended the defectors for making the right decision, saying the APC is the largest party in Africa and is doing well in human development.
