Those defecting to APC from NNPP are ineffective in political arena – Rano

Published

on

Abubakar Adamu Rano, Managing Director of Kano State Radio, has criticized members of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) who have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing them as “ineffective” in the political arena.

Rano stated this in an interview with Kadaura24, a Kano based online paper.

He said, “If you observe, all those whom Barau Jibrin claims to have recruited from NNPP Kwankwasiyya are not useful; they are incapable of achieving anything politically when election time comes.”

He emphasized that Senator Jibrin has been unable to attract the core youth members of Kwankwasiyya.

“Kwankwasiyya is fundamentally a youth movement, not for the kind of ineffective individuals that Barau Jibrin is bringing in,” he said.

Rano further revealed that Senator Jibrin would struggle to enlist prominent Kwankwasiyya youth leaders.

He said, “Do you think Barau can approach our vibrant youth leaders like Salisu Yahya Hotoro or Muhammad Kosawa? He wouldn’t even dare.”

He also advised Senator Jibrin to scrutinize those introducing defectors to him, suggesting that they might be exploiting him.

Rano further expressed confidence in Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s prospects for re-election in 2027.

“Our governor will win the 2027 election with majority votes,” he concluded.

Recall that last week Abbas Sani Abbas, the recently dismissed Commissioner for Rural and Community Development in Kano State, left the ruling NNPP and joined the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC.

Opara’s statement comes in response to allegations that Mark and the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) failed to adhere to the ADC’s constitution.

“I’ll jail David Mark if I’m the Judge handling the ADC party internal litigation cases, citing how David Mark and the NEC were not able to adhere to what is written  in the constitution of the ADC,” Opara said.

The internal strife has led to a flurry of court cases, with various factions vying for control of the party. Opara’s remarks underscore the deepening divisions within the ADC and raise questions about the party’s future.
