By Henry Umoru

Deputy Minority Whip of the Senate, Senator Rufai Hanga (Kano Central), has dumped his recently found party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

In a resignation letter dated August 3 and addressed to the NDC ward chairman in Najeria ward, Nasarawa LGA of Kano State, Hanga said his resignation takes immediate effect.

Recall that Senator Hanga, following the registration of NDC as a political party, followed his leader, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the NDC.

According to Hanga, he decided to leave the NDC after “careful reflection and personal deliberation”.
