APC Forms Committee for Governor's Defection Rally in Kano State
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has established an 82-member committee to receive Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf from the opposition party, ahead of a high-profile defection rally scheduled for February 16, 2026, at Sani Abacha Stadium. The committee, led by Kano State APC Chairman Abdullahi Abba, includes top party leaders like President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Governor Yusuf's defection marks a significant shift in Kano's political landscape, challenging the APC's dominance in the state. The event is expected to attract thousands of party faithful, highlighting the strategic importance of Kano in Nigerian politics.
The move is seen as part of a broader trend of political realignments in the country, with implications for governance, party cohesion, and power dynamics at both state and national levels.
