“Today (Monday), I welcomed a distinguished personality, Alhaji Sani Abdulkadir Dambo, a top aide to the Kano State Governor, into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“His return marks a homecoming, and I am proud to see him pledge his commitment to supporting the APC in Kano and at the national level.
“His words of loyalty and expertise will undoubtedly add value to our collective efforts to transform Nigeria.
“In the same light, I am delighted to welcome Alhaji Rabiu Alhassan Durun, another strong political figure from Kabo LGA, to the APC.
“Both men have shown their dedication to progress, and their decision to join us reflects their confidence in our vision for Nigeria. May Almighty Allah guide and bless our efforts, Mr Jibrin stated.
Mr. Dambo’s resignation from the NNPP administration in Kano follows the earlier departure of Abdulraham Mai Kadama, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Entrepreneurship, who resigned on August 15.
Similar to Mr. Dambo, Mr. Mai-Kadama announced his switch to the APC after meeting with Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin.
Before joining the APC, Mr. Mai-Kadama was a prominent figure as the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement in Plateau State and a key player in the G-6 group in Kano State.
