Senator Rufai Hanga has resigned his membership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), in a move widely seen as a major step towards his planned defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The lawmaker’s resignation was confirmed on Monday, as political watchers continue to monitor developments surrounding his next political move.
Although Senator Hanga is yet to formally announce his membership of the APC, sources close to the senator indicate that he is expected to make his defection official in the coming days.
His decision to leave the NDC marks a significant political development, coming at a time when parties are intensifying efforts to strengthen their ranks ahead of the next election cycle.
The senator, who has played a prominent role in political activities within his constituency, is expected to address his supporters and provide further details on the reasons behind his decision.
The APC is yet to officially comment on the anticipated move, while the NDC is also expected to react to the resignation.
