Nigeria: Kano Rep Abdulmumin Jibrin Joins APC Two Months After Expulsion From Nnpp

Abdulmumin Jibrin and about 2,000 supporters left the New Nigeria People’s Party to join the All Progressives Congress and back Tinubu’s 2027 presidential bid.

  • On Monday, Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa announced he had joined the All Progressives Congress in Kofa, Bebeji, Kano via his verified social media accounts.
  • His defection followed his expulsion from the New Nigeria People's Party two months earlier over alleged anti-party activities and non-payment of membership dues, and Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa said he defected with supporters to avoid repeating the mistake of switching parties alone.
  • In a video shared from the event, Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa said he was defecting with supporters to avoid repeating a past mistake and told thousands of constituents in Kofa, Bebeji, Kano, `I don't want anyone to say I don't have supporters.`
  • Jibrin wrote `The gathering resolved to leave the NNPP/Kwankwasiyya, join the APC, and endorse President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in office`.
  • His close ties to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had fuelled speculation of an APC alignment as about 2,000 Islamic clerics from Kiru/Bebeji held prayers for Tinubu and peace, while Jibrin said he brought supporters to correct an earlier mistake.
