2027: Hanga, Other Former NDC Chieftain Meets President Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu, on Sunday, received two chieftains of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rufai Hanga and Kabiru Gaya.
Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau, led the two delegations to the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Both NDC chieftains from Kano State are reportedly set to officially defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC, next week.
It will be recalled that Senator Rufai Hanga lost the Kano Central Senatorial ticket and deputy governorship slot under the platform of the NDC.
He is reportedly dumping the NDC after not being considered for any position by the NDC vice presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Senator Gaya contested the Kano South NDC Senatorial seat but lost out after a consensus candidate emerged from Rabiu Kwankwaso’s camp.
Recall that the national chairman of the APC, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, had met with the duo earlier.
