Kano Governor's Aide Suggests Possible Defection to APC Over Lack of Opposition Benefits
The spokesperson for Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf, Sanusi Batur, addressed speculation about the governor defecting from the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Batur highlighted Kano's historical opposition stance in Nigerian politics, suggesting that the state has not significantly benefited from being in opposition.
He explained that Governor Yusuf's recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu was not primarily political. This development raises questions about Kano's political alignment and its impact on the state's development prospects.
