A close political associate of former Minister of Justice, Abubakar Chika Malami, Alhaji Faruku Udulu, has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State.
Udulu, a close associate of Malami, was seen in a video announcing his defection before Usman Sani Tungu and other APC stalwarts.
Speaking during the event, he said: “We have had a long-standing relationship with Governor Nasir Idris, and he has been consistent in that relationship. This is why I am joining his team to move Kebbi State forward,” he declared to the cheers of supporters.
Before defection, Udulu was widely known as one of Malami’s closest allies. His reputation for generosity has earned him a massive following across Kebbi State, a factor observers say could significantly reshape the state’s political landscape.
