Abdulraham Mai Kadama, senior special assistant on entrepreneurship to Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf, has resigned his appointment.
Mai-Kadama also joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his departure from the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP).
He met Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin in Abuja on Wednesday.
In a Facebook statement, Jibrin said Mai-Kadama joined the APC to promote good governance and fast-track the development of Kano and Nigeria as a whole.
He said, “Another plus for the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a top shot of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Kwankwasiyya movement, Abdulrahman Mai Kadama Kwankwasiyya joined the party.
“Today, Mai Kadama Kwankwasiyya was in my residence in Abuja, where he dumped the red cap and joined the largest political party in Africa, APC.
“With the change of party, he announced that he is now Mai Kadama Maliya. The grassroots politician also announced his resignation as the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Kano State on Entrepreneurship II.
“The brand new Mai Kadama Maliya called on his young political comrades to join our great movement to deliver more dividends of democracy to our people.
“As I said previously, our party, APC, is the only party genuinely committed to enhancing the standard of living of our people. Let’s do it together; the train can accommodate all.”
Mai-Kadama was the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement in Plateau State and leader of G-6 in Kano State, among other roles, before defecting to the APC.
