2027: Tinubu hosts NDC chieftains Hanga, Gaya at Aso Villa
President Bola Tinubu on Sunday welcomed two prominent members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rufai Hanga and Kabiru Gaya, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The delegation was led by the Deputy President of the Senate, Jibrin Barau, during the visit.
Hanga and Gaya, both influential political figures from Kano State, are expected to formally leave the NDC and join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) next week, according to reports.
The meeting is seen as part of ongoing political realignments ahead of future political activities, with the anticipated defections expected to strengthen the APC’s presence in Kano State.
It will be recalled that Senator Rufai Hanga lost the Kano Central Senatorial ticket and deputy governorship slot under the platform of the NDC.
He is reportedly dumping the NDC after not being considered for any position by the NDC vice presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Senator Gaya contested the Kano South NDC Senatorial seat but lost out after a consensus candidate emerged from Rabiu Kwankwaso’s camp.
Recall that the national chairman of the APC, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, had met with the duo earlier.
