A member of the Kano State House of Assembly representing Tudun Wada constituency, Sule Lawan Shuwaki, has defected from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Speaker of the Assembly, Ismail Falgore, read Shuwaki’s resignation letter during plenary on Tuesday.
Shuwaki said in his letter that his decision followed “deep reflection and consultations” with political associates, supporters and family members.
He thanked APC leaders at all levels for the support he enjoyed while in the party but noted that he had chosen a new political path that aligns with his principles.
Confirming the move, Shuwaki disclosed that he had joined the PDP months earlier but delayed formal announcement due to political consultations.
He also appreciated his former associates and supporters in Tudun Wada, urging residents to maintain unity and cordial relations despite political differences.
The Speaker explained that the Assembly leadership had received the resignation letter about two months ago but held back its reading while engaging Shuwaki to confirm his position.
