Hajiya Rami, brother of Kano State Government (SGG) Secretary General Dr. Buffa Bichi, has defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ms Rami, who is recognized as a female mobilizer in Kano State, announced her decision to disband the NNPP at the residence of the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, in Abuja.
She expressed her intention to have other siblings join APC.
Dr. Buffa, who served as Executive Director of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TetFund) from 2016 to 2019 during the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari, was appointed SSG by Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf on May 30, 2023. It was done.
Announcing his defection, Rami said: “Today, along with our friends and political comrades across Kano State, we have abandoned the NNPP for like-minded APC to address the challenges facing the state and the country.I will immediately replace my brother Buffa Bichi with the APC I’ll take you there.”
The female leader visited the residence of the Vice President of the Senate along with other NNPP members.
During the rally, they collectively declared their withdrawal from the NNPP, the ruling party in Kano State.
In his response, Senator Balau warmly welcomed the party to join the APC, stressing that the party has the capacity to embrace all Nigerians.
He expressed his determination to ensure that the party lived up to their expectations and pledged to support positive initiatives to attract individuals to the APC.
“We will treat all party members equally and fairly. The President is working hard to put our country back on the path of progress and prosperity. We ask that you be patient with him. Our country will come out stronger. “And we'll all be happy about it,” he said.
Naija News recalls that in February 2023, the Senate Vice President defeated Mr. Buffa, the NNPP candidate for Kano North Senatorial District.
Senator Barau received 234,652 votes and Mr. Buffa received 177,014 votes.
