From Maduabuchi Nmeribeh, Kano
The Chairman of Kano Municipal Local Government Area and Kano Central Coordinator, Gawuna/Garo 2023, Alhaji Faizu Alfindiki, on Tuesday, received hundreds of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) youths who defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC).

The vibrant Municipal Council Chairman said “the evidence of first grade performance by Dr. Ganduje is overwhelming on the streets and in our homes as more individuals have been empowered.”
