Hafsat Bello, a former Kaduna State Commissioner for Human Services, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC). Bello made the statement just hours after Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor and her former boss, switched to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) from the same party on Monday, March 10. Baba stated that her resignation is effective immediately in a letter to the party’s ward chairperson for Unguwar Sariki Ward, Kaduna North LGA.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
