Nigeria: Tinubu Meets Kano Governor Ahead of Defection to APC
Governor Abba Yusuf's possible defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress hinges on persuading Kwankwaso, with APC registration in Kano delayed, sources say.
- On Monday, President Bola Tinubu hosted Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf at the Presidential Villa, Abuja in a closed-door meeting.
- Amid NNPP turmoil and legal disputes, Abba Yusuf's weeks of consultations signalled his intention to leave the New Nigeria People's Party, but Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso opposed the defection, complicating party unity.
- The party's planned electronic registration in Kano has been stalled after officials delayed it to give Abba Yusuf about a week to register first and engage Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Sumner Sambo reported on Monday.
- A Yusuf defection could end a decade-long political association with Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the Kano State House of Assembly has endorsed this, and local leaders warned remaining in NNPP is risky.
- President Tinubu is reportedly cautious and divided because Rabiu Kwankwaso has not given a firm commitment to defect, Sumner Sambo disclosed on Monday on Arise Television's Morning Show.
