The lawmaker representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has announced his return to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and declared his full support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
Jibrin, who left the APC in May 2022 to join the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), made the announcement during a large political gathering held in his hometown, Kofa, Bebeji Local Government Area of Kano State, on Sunday.
Announcing his defection on his official Facebook page on Monday, Jibrin revealed that his supporters had unanimously resolved to abandon the NNPP and the Kwankwasiyya Movement to align with the ruling APC.
“Today, in a show of solidarity, I was warmly received by thousands of my constituents in my hometown of Kofa, Bebeji, Kano,” Jibrin wrote.
“The gathering resolved to leave the NNPP/Kwankwasiyya, join the APC, and endorse President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for a second term in office. From the beginning, almost 2,000 scholars from my constituency have prayed special prayers for the President and sought peace, development, and progress for Kiru/Bebeji, Kano, and Nigeria altogether.”
