According to the governor, the APC in Kano has presented a candidate with credible credentials, a milestone that no political party has achieved.

Former speaker dumps APC for PDP in powerful northern state
Legit.ng earlier reported that former Kogi state assembly speaker, Alfa Imam, with about 3000 followers, has dumped the APC and joined the PDP in the state.
The ex-lawmaker said he is joining the PDP because the APC lacked leadership structure and the ruling party has failed Nigerians.
Imam appreciates the fact that he received a warm reception in the PDP and that he had stayed in the APC to correct the error but he failed.
