The Kaduna State Women Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Hajiya Maryam Suleiman has described the defection of former state governor, Nasir El-Rufai as a “wrong political calculation.”

Once an ally of the El-Rufai, she distanced herself from her former principal as she declared her support for the APC. She dismissed the SDP, describing it as a political non-starter.

According to her, her criticism of Governor Uba Sani was made out of ignorance while she expressed regrets and offered a public apology.

“Governor Uba Sani is a compassionate leader who genuinely uplifts people, unlike El-Rufai, whose policies on market demolitions and teacher dismissals hurt many,” she said.

Rebranding herself from “Maryam Mai Rusau” (aligned with El-Rufai) to “Maryam Mai Ginau” (supporting Uba Sani’s developmental agenda), she pledged her commitment to APC and vowed to make amends for her past remarks.

This shift marks a significant realignment in Kaduna’s political landscape as APC seeks to consolidate its influence.
