Dangwani made the declaration during a defection ceremony where dozens of former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members also announced their switch to the APC. The event was led by the Chairman of the APC in Kano State, Abdullahi Abbas, and attended by several key stakeholders of the party. Speaking at the event, Dangwani, who once served as a top confidant of the New Nigeria People\u2019s Party (NNPP) leader, Senator Kwankwaso, expressed confidence in the APC\u2019s structure and leadership at both national and state levels. \u201cWe will collaborate with APC leaders across the board to ensure the party\u2019s victory come 2027,\u201d he said, emphasizing that their decision to defect was based on the need to align with a party that has the capacity to deliver on its promises to Nigerians. Dangwani\u2019s defection is coming at a time when the APC is witnessing a massive inflow of top ranking politicians especially as Kano remains a critical battleground ahead of the next elections. His move also signals growing momentum within the APC as it consolidates power in the state and positions itself for a strong outing in 2027. The Kano APC Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, welcomed the new members, noting that their defection would further strengthen the party. He assured them of equal opportunities and a level playing field as the APC intensifies grassroots mobilization.
