She explained that she joined the APC because of the ruling party’s numerous interventions, empowerment, and people-oriented projects in the state and the country at large.

She made this known during her visit to the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jubril in Abuja.

Barau welcomed Wakili to the APC while urging her to work hard and remain a good ambassador of the entertainment industry, APC and Northern Nigeria.

In a statement shared on his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @barauijibrin, Barau said:

“While welcoming her, I reiterated our commitment to treat all party members equally. “As an actress from the entertainment industry, I implored her to work hard and remain a good ambassador of the industry, our party and the entire Northern part of Nigeria.”
