Tinubu Meets Kano Governor Amid Defection Rumors

The meeting between Tinubu and Kano Governor Abba Yusuf at the Presidential Villa in Abuja has fueled speculations of defection from the NNPP to APC. The high-level engagement is reportedly linked to discussions on Yusuf's possible defection and concerns over granting an automatic ticket for the 2027 governorship election.

The presence of loyalists of former Kano Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has added to the political tension in the region.
