The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has intensified efforts to persuade Senator Rufai Sani Hanga, who represents Kano Central, to defect to the ruling party.The APC delegation, led by Salisu Maje Gwangwazo, visited Hanga at his residence following his return from a medical trip.

Gwangwazo alleged that Kwankwaso, leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, had humiliated Hanga by sidelining him and refusing to offer him an elective position in the New Nigeria Development Coalition (NDC).The APC claims this shows Kwankwaso no longer values Hanga's loyalty and sacrifices.Gwangwazo urged Hanga to join Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf in the APC, promising him a valued role.However, Hanga did not publicly respond to the appeal.

The visit comes amid political speculation about Hanga's future after he recently reaffirmed his loyalty to Kwankwaso while also meeting with Yusuf.The article highlights the political tensions and power dynamics within the party, emphasizing the importance of Hanga's potential defection.The APC's strategy to win over key figures reflects the competitive nature of Nigerian politics, where alliances and loyalty are critical.The situation underscores the challenges of maintaining unity within political parties and the impact of personal grievances on political decisions.
