Baba Yusuf Criticizes Gov. Yusuf's Defection to APC in Kano as Self-Preservation Move

Political activist Baba Yusuf has labeled Governor Yusuf's defection from the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano as a strategic move for political survival rather than driven by ideology. Yusuf highlighted Governor Yusuf's reliance on Kwankwaso's political machinery and the subsequent rift that led to the defection.

The governor's departure from NNPP is seen as an attempt to break away from Kwankwaso's influence and assert his own political standing in the state. Baba Yusuf emphasized the impact of this defection on both the state's political landscape and Kwankwaso's national influence, noting a resurgence in Governor Yusuf's political career.

The criticism underscores the complex power dynamics within Kano's political sphere.
