APC Chieftain Criticizes Governor's Defection, Angers Party Members in Kano State

Abdulmajeed Dan Bilki Kwamanda, an APC chieftain in Kano State, expressed strong disapproval of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf's recent defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the APC. Kwamanda highlighted the betrayal felt by former Governor Kwankwaso, who is considered a credible governorship candidate for the 2027 elections.

Yusuf's move is seen as a strategic disruption within the APC despite the party's dominance in the state. Kwamanda also mentioned Ibrahim Khalil, a former governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in the context of the evolving political scenario in Kano State.

The defection has stirred emotional reactions and exposed the growing self-interest trend in Nigerian politics, according to Kwamanda.
