The Deputy Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Isaac Auta Zankai, and the member representing Zaria state constituency, Suleiman Dabo, have dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress to join the Labour Party in the state.
The Deputy Speaker represents the Kauru state constituency in the state Assembly.
The National Secretary of the Labour Party, Umar Farouk Ibrahim, made the announcement while inaugurating the party’s 450-member Governorship Campaign Council and the unveiling of its manifesto in Kaduna on Thursday.
Ibrahim who is also the Chairman of the governorship Council asserted that half of the state House of Assembly members were supporters of the “Obi-Datti” team.
Ibrahim said that the support the LP had garnered from top personalities in the state shows in clear terns that the party is on its way to taking over political power in Kaduna and the nation.
The party chieftain called on members of the party in the state, especially the youth populace to be focused and unite to ensure victory for the party in 2023.
He said, “sincerely speaking, today is one of the happiest moments in my life. I have gone around to campaign for our presidential candidate, Peter Obi and I have received great receptions.
“I am particularly impressed by the calibre of personalities that graced this inauguration. In the entire Northern states, we don’t have any personality that dumps APC and join Labour Party except in Kaduna State with the Deputy Speaker and another member from Zaria constituency of the state ,” he said.
