2027: Kano Assembly member defects from NDC, rejoins APC after meeting Barau
Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, has welcomed the member representing Makoda State Constituency in the Kano State House of Assembly, Muhammad Ahmad Tomas, back to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The development marks another shift in Kano’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Tomas, who recently defected to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), announced his return to the APC during a visit to Barau’s residence in Abuja on Monday.
He was accompanied by the Executive Chairmen of Makoda and Dambatta Local Government Areas, Alhaji Isa Currency and Alhaji Jamilu Abubakar Dambatta.
In a statement personally signed on Monday, Barau described Tomas’ return as timely and significant, saying it reflected a commitment to what he termed progress and good governance.
“Today, I had the honour of receiving back Hon. Muhammad Ahmad Tomas, member of the Kano State House of Assembly representing Makoda State Constituency, to our great party, the All Progressives Congress, from the Nigeria Democratic Congress,” Barau said.
He added that the lawmaker’s decision to rejoin the ruling party would strengthen the APC’s position in Kano North Senatorial District and across Kano State.
“His foresight in realigning with the APC demonstrates his commitment to progress and good governance,” he said.
Barau also assured the returning lawmaker of equal opportunity within the party and urged APC members to maintain unity as political activities intensify ahead of future elections.
“Together, we will continue to work tirelessly for the growth and success of our party, Kano North Senatorial District, Kano State and Nigeria as a whole,” he added
