The Managing Director of the Hadejia-Jam\u2019are River Basin Development Authority, Alhaji Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, on Tuesday received hundreds of defectors from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) into the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Fagge and Ungogo Local Government Areas of Kano State.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the reception ceremony, Alhaji Rabiu Suleiman Bichi said the mass defection was a clear indication of the growing confidence Nigerians have in the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the progressive vision of the APC.<\/p>\n
He noted that Nigerians were increasingly embracing the party due to its development-oriented policies, adding that the recent defection of some state governors to the APC was further proof of the party\u2019s strength and national appeal.<\/p>\n
Bichi assured the new members of equal opportunity and full integration into the party, stating that no member would be marginalized. He said the APC-led Federal Government had introduced visionary policies aimed at uplifting the welfare of citizens, particularly in areas of food security and economic growth.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the contributions of the Hadejia-Jam\u2019are River Basin Development Authority, the Managing Director revealed that modern irrigation techniques have been introduced in line with President Tinubu\u2019s food security agenda and efforts to boost agricultural productivity.<\/p>\n
In a goodwill message, the immediate past National Chairman of the APC, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, represented by the Kano State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, commended the defectors for their decision to join the ruling party. He assured them that they would not regret their decision, as the APC remains committed to delivering sustainable development across the country.<\/p>\n
Also speaking, the Kano Central APC Chairman, Alhaji Shehu Aliyu Ungogo, who represented Abbas, said President Tinubu\u2019s policies had significantly boosted the nation\u2019s economy, thereby restoring public confidence in the APC.<\/p>\n
Some of the defectors, while speaking to journalists, said their decision was influenced by the developmental strides of the APC-led government and the party\u2019s commitment to improving the lives of ordinary Nigerians. They expressed optimism that their defection would contribute to the party\u2019s grassroots strength and overall success in future elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
