Kwankwaso Nears APC Return Amidst Defection Plans

Former Kano State Governor, Kwankwaso, is finalizing a defection deal with the APC Chairman, according to Daily Trust sources. The move involves informing the APC national secretariat in Abuja of his intention to join the party.

Kwankwaso's Kwankwasiyya movement played a significant role in the NNPP's success in Kano State. Conditions for his return to the ruling party include supporting his mentee, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, for the governorship election.

This shift comes amidst the rivalry within the Kano APC leadership. Kwankwaso's potential return is seen as a strategic move ahead of the upcoming political landscape in Nigeria.
