Theo Abu Agada, the Director of New Media and Strategic Communications of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has reacted to the planned defection of two of the party’s Kano State chieftains, Senators Rufai Hanga and Kabiru Gaya, describing the development as “extremely painful.”
The spokesperson made the remark in a post on Monday, a day after President Bola Tinubu received the two politicians at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“This is extremely painful but we move,” the party official wrote.
Hanga and Gaya were accompanied to the Presidential Villa by Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau, amid reports that they will formally join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) next week.
The visit has intensified speculation over their imminent exit from the NDC.
