Kaduna Assembly Deputy Speaker, Member Dump APC For Labour Party

The Deputy Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Isaac Auta Zankai, and the member representing Zaria state constituency, Suleiman Dabo, have joined the Labour Party (LP) from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Naija News reports that their defection was announced on Thursday by the National Secretary of the Labour Party and Chairman of the governorship Council, Umar Farouk Ibrahim, while inaugurating the party’s 450-member Governorship Campaign Council and the unveiling of its manifesto in Kaduna.

The LP National Secretary stated that half of the members of the Kaduna Assembly were “Obi-Datti” apostles.

He noted that the support received from the calibre of personalities in the state, was an indication that the party was on the march to taking over political power both in the state and the national levels.

Ibrahim said, “sincerely speaking, today is one of the happiest moments in my life. I have gone around to campaign for our presidential candidate, Peter Obi and I have received great receptions.

“I am particularly impressed by the calibres of personalities that grace this inauguration. In the entire northern states, we don’t have any personality that dumps APC and join Labour Party except in Kaduna State with the Deputy Speaker and another member from Zaria state constituency.”

He charged Labour Party members to close ranks and unite so as to coast to victory in the forthcoming elections, urging youths not to relent until Obi-Datti formed the next administration in the country.
