Kano Gov, Yusuf officially defects to APC

Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has officially rejoined the All Progressives Congress, APC, after quitting the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP.

This is coming barely three days after he resigned from the NNPP, citing protracted internal crises and legal disputes, which he said have weakened the party’s cohesion nationwide.

Salient Times had reported that the governor was set to rejoin the APC on Monday, after resigning from the NNPP last Friday.

Earlier, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Jibril Ismail Falgore, his Deputy, Muhammad Butu- Butu, the Majority Leader, Lawan Hussain, and 19 other lawmakers officially defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
