Abba Yusuf’s Aide Speaks On Kano Governor Joining APC

Sunusi Bature Dawakin, the Director-General of Media and Publicity in the office of Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has clarified that Governor Yusuf has not received any formal communication from the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, regarding an invitation to join the APC…..CONTINUE READING

This statement comes in response to comments made by Ganduje, who indicated that he had extended an invitation to the Kano governor to leave the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) for the APC.

Speaking on the BBC Hausa service on Friday, Dawakin emphasized that they became aware of Ganduje’s invitation only through social media.

He pointed out that Ganduje, with his experience as a former governor and deputy governor, is well aware of the proper channels to approach an incumbent governor with such a proposal.

Despite the public declaration by Ganduje, Governor Yusuf has not made any statements regarding his stance on joining the ruling party.

This development occurs amidst reports that President Bola Tinubu is working to reconcile Ganduje with Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano.

Both Kwankwaso and Yusuf had defected to the NNPP prior to the 2023 polls, where they pursued presidential and governorship bids, respectively.

While Kwankwaso was unsuccessful in his presidential run, Yusuf emerged victorious in the gubernatorial election, a victory recently affirmed by the Supreme Court.
