President Tinubu Meets Gov. Yusuf Amid Defection Speculations
President Tinubu held a closed-door meeting with Gov. Yusuf of Kano State at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to address the governor's potential defection from NNPP to APC.
The meeting focused on resolving political issues and uncertainties surrounding Yusuf's political future within APC, particularly regarding the 2023 re-election bid and support within the party. The governor's formal announcement of defection is expected soon, following strained relations with NNPP leader Sen. Kwankwaso.
Tinubu assured Yusuf of his value to APC's political calculations, especially in Kano and the wider North-West region.
