Dungurawa made this known on Wednesday when Daily News 24 Hausa contacted him for a comment on the development.
This follows Senator Kawu Sumaila’s confirmation of his defection to the APC on Wednesday through a Facebook post.
In the post, Sumaila stated, “All politics is local, and my primary concern has always been, and remains, the welfare of my immediate constituency. I am resolutely determined to advance the lives of my people, ensuring their needs are met and their future is secured.”
The NNPP has been grappling with internal factionalism, as tensions rise between supporters of party leader Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and a faction led by Dr. Gilbert Agbo.
