Not less than six members of the Kano State House of Assembly dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday.
The lawmakers are members of the KwanKwasiyya group.
The Speaker of the House, Alhaji Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, while reading the defection letters at the plenary, said it became necessary for the defecting lawmakers to leave the APC because the party has failed to meet the aspiration and yearnings of the people they represent.
The defectors are from six local government areas in the state and they are – Yusuf Babangida Suliaman (Gwale), Rabiu Saleh (Gwarzo), Zubairu Mahmud (Madobi), Yusuf Abdullahi Falgore (Rogo), Hamza Sule Bichi (Bichi) and Isiaku Ali Danja (Gezaw).
