Kano state SSG’s sister vows to bring brother to APC
…As she joined APC
Abuja ((Core Reporters) Defection galore, Hajiya Lami, the sister to the secretary to Kano state government (SSG) Dr Baffa Bichi, has vowed to drag her brother to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Hajiya Lami, a member of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) was the women mobiliser in her former party before her defection to APC.
She was received by the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I Jibrin, in Abuja on Thursday.
Baffa, who was the Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TetFund) between 2016 and 2019 during President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, was named the SSG by the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, on May 30, 2023.
In February last year, the Deputy President of the Senate defeated Baffa, the NNPP’s candidate for Kano North Senatorial District. Senator Barau polled 234,652 against Baffa’s 177,014 votes.
Lami said: ” Today, with my friends and political associates across Kano State, we have dumped the NNPP for the APC to join forces with like minds to address the challenges facing our State and our country. I will bring my brother, Baffa Bichi, to the APC soon.”
The women leader was at the residence of the Deputy President of the Senate together with other members of the NNPP. They all announced their exit from the NNPP, the ruling party in Kano State.
However, Senator Barau while welcoming them to the APC, said the party is big enough to accommodate all Nigerians.
Barau assured that the party would not disappoint them and pledged to continue to do the good things that endear them to the APC.
” We will treat all party members equally and fairly. The President is working hard to return our country to the path of progress and prosperity. Bear with him; our country will become stronger and we will all be happy for it,” he said.
Recall that on Tuesday, hundreds of members of the NNPP from Shanono LGA of Kano State have joined the APC. They were at the office of the Deputy President of the Senate at the National Assembly under five groups.
They were accompanied by the Chairman of the APC in Shanono LGA, Alhaji Isiya Sheme and the caucus leader of the party in the LG, Alhaji Adamu Saidu.
