Bashir Ahmad Disappointed as Kano Ex-Gov Gaya Joins ADC

Bashir Ahmad, a former media aide to the president, lamented the decision of Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya, a former governor of Kano State, to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Ahmad noted that this move comes after Rabiu Kwankwaso's defection to the ADC, which he views as detrimental to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement, Ahmad expressed his respect for Gaya's decision but emphasized his hope that Gaya would choose to remain with the APC to help strengthen the party's base in preparation for the upcoming 2027 elections. Ahmad's comments reflect a broader concern within the APC regarding the impact of defections on the party's stability and electoral prospects in Kano State.
