2027 Election: Yusuf eyes governorship ticket under APC
Yusuf was received into the APC by top party leaders, including former APC National Chairman and ex-Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje; the Deputy President of the Senate and Senator representing Kano South, Barau Jibrin; the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Abdullahi Ata; alongside other senior party officials.
•Abba Yusuf
The Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, today officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying:
” My decision to return to the APC was driven by the need to work more closely with the Federal Government, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to accelerate development in Kano State.”
Yusuf was elected governor in 2023 on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
He later resigned from the party along with several members of the Kano State House of Assembly and the House of Representatives, paving the way for his return to the APC.
Yusuf was received into the APC by top party leaders, including former APC National Chairman and ex-Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje; the Deputy President of the Senate and Senator representing Kano South, Barau Jibrin; the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Abdullahi Ata; alongside other senior party officials.
Mallam Abba Abubakar, a son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has formally received his membership card of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his registration at the ward level in Adamawa State.
The Adamawa State chapter of the APC has confirmed Abba Abubakar’s successful integration into the party, marking his official defection from previous political affiliations.
This development comes after reports of his formal defection to the ruling party, with reports indicating that the membership registration process was completed at his ward.
Abba Abubakar, also referred to as Abba Atiku in some reports, has publicly expressed strong support for President Bola Tinubu, declaring that no party or individual is positioned to defeat him in the 2027 presidential election.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has described his son’s decision as a personal choice, emphasizing democratic freedoms. In statements attributed to him, Atiku noted that in a democracy, individuals including family members are entitled to make independent political decisions without coercion.
The move has sparked discussions across Nigeria’s political landscape, particularly given Atiku’s own recent association with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the presence of another son, Adamu, serving as Commissioner for Works and Energy Development in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led Adamawa State government.
