NNPP Refutes Claims of Defection to ADC in Katsina

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has dismissed rumors that any of its chairmen in Katsina State’s 34 local government areas have defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or any other political party. 

In a statement released on Monday in Katsina, the NNPP State Chairman, Alhaji Armaya’u Abdulkadir, firmly denied the defection claims, asserting that all local government chairmen remain loyal to the NNPP.

He said that their attention has been drawn to some publications made in some media organisations and circulated in the social media. 

Abdulkadir said, “The attention of the NNPP Katsina chapter has been drawn to some publications made in some media organisations and circulated in the social media. 

“The publication revealed that 34 NNPP local government chairmen have defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). 

“The defection, as it was reported, was through the former Secretary to the state government, Alhaji Mustapha Inuwa in Katsina State. 

“It is on record, however, that some of our chairmen, after the 2023 presidential elections, defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC).

“Thus, these same people are the ones that defected to the ADC from the APC. Therefore, their defection was from APC, not from NNPP.”
