APC in Kano State Welcomes Governor Yusuf from NNPP in Major Political Move
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has welcomed Governor Yusuf from the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP), along with 73 elected officials, including state assembly members and local government chairmen. The APC state secretary, Ibrahim Zakari Sarina, expressed hope for Governor Yusuf's alignment with the APC.
The move is expected to strengthen APC's position in the state, with preparations underway to accommodate Governor Yusuf and his supporters in the party's structure. The defection comes amidst political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections.
There are reports of factional clashes within the NNPP, with the faction chairman Ma'ud Eljibril demanding Governor Yusuf's formal resignation. The court has reportedly affirmed the legitimacy of Eljibril's faction within the NNPP.
Governor Yusuf's defection is viewed as a significant development in Kano State's political landscape.
