In a clear move signaling his imminent political crossover, Kano State Governor Abba Kabiru Yusuf held a high-stakes meeting with the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, at the party’s secretariat in Kano earlier today.
The meeting, described by insiders as “strategic and conclusive,” focused on the final modalities for the Governor’s planned defection from the opposition New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling APC.
This meeting is a critical precursor to the Governor’s anticipated formal announcement. By engaging directly with the state party leadership, Governor Yusuf is securing the necessary groundwork and support structure within the Kano APC to ensure a smooth transition for himself and his supporters.
With the final arrangements now being put in place, political observers expect Governor Abba Yusuf to make his formal declaration for the APC in the coming days, an event that will dramatically alter the balance of power in Kano State and national politics ahead of 2027.
