Kano Governor Yusuf Joins APC Amid Political Realignment Criticism

Kano Governor Yusuf has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday, January 23, citing the unending crises within the NNPP and the need to align the state with the center. His move to dump the NNPP ahead of the 2023 general elections has drawn criticism from political stakeholders, including Rabiu Kwankwaso, a leader and 2023 presidential candidate.

Governor Yusuf's decision to join the APC is seen as an instrumental move for his emergence as governor. The switch reflects the ongoing realignment of political forces in Nigeria, particularly in Kano state.
