A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hafiz Idris, has accused the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, of orchestrating the defection of Yusuf Gawuna to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement issued on Thursday, Idris alleged that Jibrin played a key role in frustrating Gawuna’s chances of securing a strategic political appointment following his defeat in the 2023 Kano State governorship election.
Gawuna, who ran under the APC, lost to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
According to Idris, the alleged marginalisation and lack of political support ultimately pushed Gawuna to abandon the APC for the ADC.
