APC Ready to Welcome Kwankwaso After Kano Governor's Defection Amid Political Realignment

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is ready to receive Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano State, following the defection of Kano Governor Abba Yusuf to the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP). The APC's national chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, confirmed the party's readiness to welcome Kwankwaso, emphasizing that the party remains open to politicians who share its vision and are willing to work within its structure.

Kwankwaso's potential entry into the APC comes amidst political realignments in Kano State, with Governor Abba Yusuf and several lawmakers defecting to the NNPP, sparking reactions from party supporters. The move is seen as a significant development ahead of the 2023 presidential elections, with Kwankwaso being a central figure in the unfolding political drama.

Additionally, Yilwatda defended President Bola Tinubu's frequent foreign trips, highlighting their role in strengthening Nigeria's international standing and attracting foreign investments.
