Kano Governor Yusuf's Plan to Join APC Faces Opposition from NNPP Leader Kwankwaso
Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf's decision to defect from the NNPP to the APC has stirred controversy, with close sources revealing internal consultations and opposition from NNPP leader Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. The move is seen as a strategic political maneuver ahead of the 2023 elections, with Yusuf expected to be joined by other political figures in the state.
Kwankwaso's resistance to aligning with the APC due to leadership issues has further complicated the political landscape in Kano. The NNPP is facing internal crises following the suspension of its former state chairman, Hashim Dungurawa.
Efforts to obtain an official response from Governor Yusuf's spokesperson have been unsuccessful, indicating a growing political crisis in the region.
