BEVERLY HILLS, January 22, (THEWILL) – The Kano State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rabiu Sulaiman-Bichi, has decamped to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
His defection comes two days after the Supreme Court affirmed Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of the APC as the duly elected governor of Kano State.
He is regarded as one of the closest political associates of former governor of Kano, Rabiu Kwankwaso, having worked with the former governor in different capacities.
During the first tenure of Kwankwaso as Kano governor, 1999-2003, Mr Sulaiman-Bichi was the managing director of Kano State Urban Planning and Development Board (KNUPDA) and also the commissioner for land matters.
He was also the secretary to the Kano State Government during the second tenure of Kwankwaso (2011- 2015) and in the early part of Ganduje’s tenure before he voluntarily resigned due to the Kwankwaso-Ganduje feud and joined the PDP with Kwankwaso.
Bichi was the returning officer of PDP during the governorship and presidential elections in 2019.
