Kano South Senator Kawu Sumaila yesterday confirmed his defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sumaila, a former member of the House of Representatives, dumped the APC for the NNPP in May 2022.
But in a Facebook post yesterday, Sumaila, who also served as senior special assistant to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly Matters, announced his return to the ruling party.
“Yes, it is true — the rumours regarding my defection are accurate,” he wrote.

The post further reads: “All politics is local, and my primary concern has always been, and remains, the welfare of my immediate constituency.
“I am resolutely determined to advance the lives of my people, ensuring their needs are met and their future is secured.”
His defection added to the growing list of politicians joining the APC ahead of the 2027 general election.
