The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has announced its readiness to welcome Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf should he decide to join the ruling party.
The declaration was made on Tuesday by the Kano State APC Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, who said the invitation was extended on behalf of the party’s former National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
According to Abbas, the move is aimed at fostering political harmony, reconciliation, and collective development in Kano State. He stressed that the APC remains committed to uniting political forces for the overall benefit of the state.
“The APC is prepared to receive Governor Abba Yusuf warmly so that we can pool our efforts and work together for the advancement of Kano State,” Abbas stated.
However, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has strongly advised the governor against defecting to the APC, insisting that the party lacks public acceptance in the state.
Speaking during a press conference in Kano on Monday, the NNPP State Chairman, Suleiman Dungurawa, dismissed claims that certain individuals within the party were attempting to create a rift between Governor Yusuf and the party’s national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Dungurawa noted that Kwankwaso does not support the prevailing political developments in the state and remains committed to the principles of the NNPP.
He further urged residents of Kano State to remain calm and continue their legitimate daily activities amid the growing political speculation. The NNPP chairman also cautioned party members against endorsing or appending their names to documents allegedly being circulated by individuals he described as troublemakers, seeking to fuel defection rumours.
