Sule Lawan Shuwaki, a lawmaker from Kano State House of Assembly representing Tudun Wada constituency, has recently switched political parties. The move saw him leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) and join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The announcement came during a plenary session on Tuesday, when Speaker of the Assembly, Ismail Falgore, read Shuwaki's resignation letter. In the letter, Shuwaki revealed that his decision to defect was the result of "deep reflection and consultations" with close associates, supporters, and family members. He expressed gratitude to APC leaders at all levels for their support while he was in the party.
Shuwaki clarified that he had already joined the PDP months ago but delayed making a formal announcement to engage in political consultations. He also expressed appreciation for his former associates and supporters in Tudun Wada, urging residents to maintain unity and cordial relations despite their political differences.
The Assembly leadership learned of Shuwaki's resignation letter approximately two months prior, but decided to wait before reading it. They did so to engage Shuwaki in confirming his decision before going public.
