Kano South APC leaders appeal to Sumaila to return to party

Chairmen and Secretaries of the All Progressives Congress in the 16 local governments that make up Kano South Senatorial District have called on Senator Sulaiman Kawu Sumaila to return to the party.

The APC Chairman of Albasu Local Government Area, Iliyasu Hungu, made the call on behalf of the 16 party chairmen, secretaries, and ward leaders at a news conference in Albasu town on Tuesday.

Senator Sumaila currently represents Kano South Senatorial District on the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party.

Hungu said the call became necessary because of the value Senator Sumaila would add to the APC if he rejoined the party.

There is no doubt that Senator Sumaila will add immense value to our great party if he answers our call and returns to the APC, and will assist in uniting members of the party in the zone.

We know Senator Sumaila’s capacity and value in Kano politics. Though he is not a card-carrying member of the APC, the man extends his hand of fellowship to all, irrespective of their party affiliations.

“This is the kind of politician we need in the APC. We are therefore, appealing to our serving and former APC state lawmakers from Kano South, the APC caucus, the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, the Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, and the APC State Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, to help us in pacifying Sen. Sumaila to consider our plea.

We have confidence that Senator Sumaila will play a greater role in promoting APC in Kano State. We really miss him and we are calling on him to return and join us in promoting the party together,” Hungu said.

He explained that APC needs committed politicians like Sen. Sumaila, who always devote their energy and resources to the development and well-being of their constituents.

“Senator Sumaila has no match in Kano South. We really need the man back in the APC. We will be happy if the Senator agrees to return to the party,” Hungu added.
