Twenty-one members of the Kano State House of Assembly have defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP to the All Progressives Congress APC, marking a major political realignment in the state.
The lawmakers announced their decision on Monday, coming shortly after Governor Abba Yusuf formally resigned from the NNPP following his recent visit to President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.
In his resignation letter to the chairman of the Diso-Chiranchi ward in Gwale Local Government Area, Yusuf blamed his exit on what he described as "deepening internal crises" and "prolonged leadership disputes" within the party.
