Tinubu Holds Talks with Kano Governor Amid Defection Rumors

The Presidency revealed that Bola Tinubu engaged in discussions with Kano Governor Abba Yusuf, with Tinubu's spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, confirming the meeting. The meeting, held in Abuja, comes amid speculation that Yusuf might leave the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, NNPP's national leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has denied endorsing Yusuf's defection. The talks suggest a significant political development in Kano State's political landscape.
