Kano Governor Abba Yusuf Returns to APC, Speaker and Lawmakers Defect Amid Political Realignment
Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after resigning from the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) due to internal crises. His move, announced on Monday, comes just three days after leaving NNPP.
The defection of Yusuf and other lawmakers, including Speaker Jibril Ismail Falgore and Muhammad Butu, to APC signals a significant political realignment in Kano State. This development is expected to bolster APC's position in the state ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The wave of defections underscores the shifting political landscape in Kano and the strategic importance of alliances for political parties in Nigeria.
