Two Nigerian lawmakers have rejoined the All Progressives Congress (APC), marking a significant development in the country’s political landscape. Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa, representing Kiru/Bebeji constituency, and Rt. Hon. Sagir Koki, representing Kano Municipal, made the announcement on Thursday.
According to Jibrin, the duo received a warm welcome from top APC officials, including Deputy Senate President Senator Barau Jibrin, senior Senate and House officials, and the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila. The APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and former APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, were also in attendance.
Jibrin expressed his appreciation to the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, and other senior officials, members, and senators for the reception. He stated that they will continue to work together in service to the nation with dedication and commitment. The lawmakers’ decision to rejoin the APC is expected to have implications for the country’s political dynamics.
The APC, one of Nigeria’s major political parties, has been actively engaging with its members and stakeholders to strengthen its position ahead of future elections. The return of Jibrin and Koki is seen as a boost to the party’s efforts to consolidate its support base.
As members of the House of Representatives, Jibrin and Koki are expected to play key roles in shaping the country’s legislative agenda. Their decision to rejoin the APC reflects the ongoing realignments and negotiations within Nigeria’s political sphere. The development is likely to be closely watched by political observers and analysts as the country navigates its complex political landscape.
The lawmakers’ reunion with the APC is a significant event in Nigeria’s political calendar, highlighting the fluid nature of the country’s political alliances. As the country prepares for future elections, the APC and other parties are likely to continue engaging in strategic maneuvers to position themselves for success. With Jibrin and Koki back in the APC fold, the party is poised to leverage their experience and expertise to advance its goals and objectives.
