Senator Sulaiman Kawu Sumaila has been urged to return to the All-Progressives Congress by the chairmen and secretaries of the 16 local governments that comprise the Kano South Senatorial District.
The APC Chairman of Albasu Local Government Area, Iliyasu Hungu, made the call on behalf of the 16 party chairmen, secretaries, and ward leaders at a news conference in Albasu town on Tuesday.
Currently, Senator Sumaila serves as the New Nigeria People’s Party’s representative for the Kano South Senatorial District.
The value Senator Sumaila would bring to the APC if he re-joined the party, according to Hungu, made the call necessary.
“There is no doubt that Senator Sumaila will add immense value to our great party if he answers our call and returns to the APC and will assist in uniting members of the party in the zone.
“We know Senator Sumaila’s capacity and value in Kano politics. Though he is not a card-carrying member of the APC, the man extends his hand of fellowship to all, irrespective of their party affiliations.
“This is the kind of politician we need in the APC. We are therefore, appealing to our serving and former APC state lawmakers from Kano South, the APC caucus, the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, the Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, and the APC State Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, to help us in pacifying Sen. Sumaila to consider our plea.
“We have confidence that Senator Sumaila will play a greater role in promoting APC in Kano State. We really miss him, and we are calling on him to return and join us in promoting the party together,” Hungu said.
He clarified that Sen. Sumaila and other dedicated politicians who consistently invest their time and resources in the development and welfare of their communities are what the APC needs.
“Senator Sumaila has no match in Kano South. We really need the man back in the APC. We will be happy if the Senator agrees to return to the party,” Hungu added.
