The Minority Leader of the Kano State House of Assembly and member representing Kura/Garun Malam Constituency, Alhaji Abdullahi Muhammad-Chiromawa, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the Peoples Redemption Party.
The member announced his defection while briefing newsmen on Monday in Kano.
Muhammad-Ciromawa also said he has resigned his position as the Minority Leader of the assembly.
According to him, the decision to defect from PDP to PRP was to join his political godfather, Alhaji Salihu Sagir-Takai, who also recently dumped the PDP for PRP.
“PDP is no longer politically habitable, that is why I am leaving the party to better my political career and also to avoid being trapped in a political cross-fire looking the party,” he said.
He explained that his decision was due to the gross impunity and power tussle bedevilling the two major parties in the state.
The former Deputy Governor of state, Prof. Hafiz Abubakar, who resigned his position and his membership of the All Progressives Congress and defected to PDP, had also dumped the PDP for the PRP.
