Gov Yusuf Declares Leadership in Kano APC, Rejects Orders

Gov Yusuf, the current governor of Kano State, has publicly declared himself the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the region, asserting that Ganduje cannot give him orders. This statement comes in response to criticism following recent defections from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the APC, which some have interpreted as a betrayal of the Kwankwasiyya Movement.

Yusuf has been warned about the potential political crisis that could arise from his departure from the NNPP, which he argues is necessary to prevent larger issues affecting the people of Kano State. He has addressed accusations of disloyalty, questioning the actions of others who have left the party without consulting members of the Kwankwasiyya Movement.

Despite the tensions, Yusuf emphasizes the need to maintain a cordial relationship with Ganduje, clarifying that this does not imply subordination.
