Why I Dumped NNPP For APC – Gov. Abba Yusuf

Gov. Abba Yusuf

Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has defended his defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). He recently had his say while addressing thousands of supporters at the 2026 Grand Rally held at Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.

According to him, the decision was driven by the need to strategically align the state with the federal government to fast-track development.

He added that Kano’s size and strategic importance made continued political disconnection from the centre unsustainable.

His words, “Kano is too large and strategically important to remain politically disconnected from the federal government.

It is about placing Kano in a position where it can fully participate in national development and secure a better future for its citizens.

With the support of our great party and the cooperation of the Federal Government, Kano State is better positioned to move forward with confidence and stability.”

WOW.
