Kano LP gov candidate moves to APC
Bashir, alongside LP chieftains in Kano, on January 21 shunned the party’s presidential rally held in Kano.
The other LP members who shunned the rally were Mohammed Zarewa; the state coordinator for Peter Obi’s campaign, Balarabe Wakili; and a member of the presidential campaign council, Idris Dambazau.
A source close to Bashir confirmed his defection and other labor party leaders in Kano to the APC on Sunday to newsmen.
The source further linked his decision to the party’s exclusion of major northern stakeholders in its decision-making process, and lack of clear-cut direction on the interest of northern Nigeria.
The Labour Party is a social democratic political party in Nigeria.
The party was created in 2002 and was previously known as the Party for Social Democracy before changing to its current name the following year.
