Hon. Zubairu Hamza Masu, a member of the Kano State House of Assembly representing the Sumaila Constituency, has officially defected from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Masu announced his resignation from the NNPP in a letter addressed to the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Ismail Falgore.
The letter was read aloud during the House’s plenary session on Monday.
In the letter, the lawmaker cited persistent internal crises within the NNPP as the primary reason for his decision.
These issues, he explained, include factional disputes and unresolved litigations that have plagued the party.
He highlighted the existence of conflicting leadership claims at both the state and national levels.
According to him, the party in Kano is torn between the leadership of Dr. Suleiman Hashim Dungurawa and Senator Mas’ud El-Jibrin Doguwa, while at the national level, a similar struggle exists between Dr. Ahmed Ajuji and Dr. Agbo Major.
Masu’s resignation is effective from May 12, 2025.
In his statement, he expressed his commitment to his new political platform.
He pledged “full allegiance to the APC leadership at all levels.”
It will be recalled that Hon. Masu was recently among notable NNPP figures who were received into the APC by the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.
