Kano Gov. Yusuf joins APC

The Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This is coming after the Governor dumped the NNPP, New Nigeria People’s Party, just over a day ago over what he cited as longstanding issues within the party. 

Yusuf defected to the ruling party on Monday during a formal ceremony held at the Coronation Hall of the Kano State Government House, where he was received by top party leaders.

Those present included former APC National Chairman and ex-Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje; the Deputy President of the Senate and Senator representing Kano South, Barau Jibrin; the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Abdullahi Ata; and other senior party officials.

Speaking at the event, the governor said his decision to return to the APC was driven by the need to work more closely with the Federal Government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to accelerate development in Kano State.

Recall Governor he spoke about deepening internal crises and persistent leadership disputes in the NNPP.

Meanwhile, Dockaysworld reported that Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso, son of former Kano State Governor and NNPP national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, resigned as Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development in Kano State.
