Kano State’s chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) rejects claims attributed to Kwankwasiyya that members in Kumbotso Local Government Area have defected to the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Both reports say the APC denies any “massive” or widespread defection in the area and insists that its party members remain united and loyal.
The APC position is conveyed through a statement from the party’s Publicity Secretary, Auwalu Soja, which dismisses the allegations as untrue. According to the APC, the reports circulating about members leaving for the NDC are not supported, and the party’s structure and membership in Kumbotso are intact.
The two sources present the dispute as an exchange of claims between Kwankwasiyya’s camp and Kano APC, with the APC countering by emphasizing internal cohesion and rejecting the scale and direction of the alleged defections. No figures or independent verification of defection claims are provided in the excerpts.
