The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, has officially returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC), in a major political shift in the state.
Yusuf formally defected to the ruling party on Monday at the Coronation Hall of the Kano Government House.
He was received into the APC by top party leaders including former National Chairman and ex-Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje; the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin; and the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Ata.
Governor Yusuf stated that his decision to rejoin the APC was motivated by the need to strengthen collaboration with the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu.
Yusuf, who won the 2023 governorship election on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), had previously resigned from the party along with several members of the Kano State House of Assembly and the House of Representatives..
