Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has arrived in Kano State to participate in the formal declaration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s membership of the ruling APC.

Ganduje’s arrival comes amid heightened political activities in the state, as the party prepares to receive the Kano governor following his planned defection.

His Chief of Staff, Muhammad Garba, made this known in a statemen saying Ganduje arrived in Abuja aboard a British Airways flight at about 5:30 am on Monday.

Garba stated that Ganduje is expected to proceed to Kano later in the day to commence a series of major political engagements in the state.

“The former Governor is scheduled to participate in the APC’s electronic registration of members, a programme he initiated during his tenure as national chairman of the party.

“He is also expected to play a prominent role in activities surrounding the planned reception of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, who is set to formally defect to the APC,” Garba said.

the former Kano State governor returned to Nigeria from London, where he attended the graduation ceremony of his daughter, Fatima Ganduje, at King’s College London.

Fatima, who is married to Idris Ajimobi, son of the late former Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, graduated on Thursday with a Master’s degree from the prestigious institution.

Ganduje arrived in Abuja aboard a British Airways flight at about 5:30 am on Monday and is expected to proceed to Kano later in the day to commence a series of high-profile political engagements.

The planned declaration of Governor Yusuf’s APC membership is expected to draw party leaders and supporters from across the state and beyond.

The event in Kano today is said to be part of broader efforts by the APC to strengthen its party structure in Kano State and consolidate recent political realignments ahead of future electoral contests.

APC Takes Over Kano Government House
The red and white symbols of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) have officially disappeared from the Kano State Government House as Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf prepares to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) today.

As early as Monday morning, APC flags were hoisted at the main gates and within the premises of the Government House, confirming the imminent political shift.

The development signalled the dawn of a new political era in Kano State.

According to TVC News, the Government House has been placed on high-readiness mode ahead of the formal reception of the governor, who is expected to publicly announce his defection to the APC this afternoon.

The declaration is scheduled to take place after the flag-off of the APC’s e-registration exercise in the state.

Putindbutt:
By January 31st, Gov Kefas officially becomes the latest member of APC. APC would have had 31 Governors.

2027, It's done and dusted. Coalition of vultures and hyenas provoked Jagaban when they started their gang up.

Lesson of the day: Do not provoke your father's father, it could turn out worse for you.

GaskiyaTV:
Oga how you take know garo garo.

Queseda:
But I didn’t see his name in the Pandora papers. He has more projects in his 8 years than your Obi

shaqhead:
You will need to sit and learn politics o! You only think in terms of "winning" when for politicians when they sit their permutations see beyond that to include other options!

Obi won Lagos plus other states, did it make him even a class rep?

Politicians know their strongholds they can win cheaply and those of their opponents they can draw blood.

So, what's the next best thing after WINNING, get your 25% and if not pull some good numbers!

Football teaches you this, that's if you follow.
