Former Kano Governor, Kabiru Gaya Set To Dump NDC And Rejoin APC by Pakute(op): 7:08pm On Jul 21

Former Kano State Governor and prominent National Democratic Congress (NDC) leader, Senator Kabiru Gaya, has agreed to re-join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Gaya’s decision followed a private meeting with APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, at his residence on Yaounde Street, Abuja, on Monday night.

Reports indicate that the closed-door meeting lasted about 45 minutes.

A source familiar with the meeting confirmed that Gaya agreed to return to the APC during the discussion.

“Yes, Senator Kabiru Gaya has agreed to re-join the APC,” the source said.

The development comes days after Gaya reportedly lost the NDC senatorial ticket for Kano South, despite recently defecting to the opposition party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Gaya resigned from the APC on April 5, briefly joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and later moved to the NDC alongside former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

He served as Governor of Kano State during the Third Republic between 1992 and 1993 and later represented Kano South Senatorial District in the Senate from 2015 to 2023 on the APC platform.

Gaya lost his re-election bid in 2023 to Senator Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila, who contested under the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

Peter Obi will still defeat Tinubu with landslide. Nobody should ask me how, I'm not obedient. Ask any obedient you see, he will explain to you using his logic.

Kwankwaso is in full control of Kano.

The voters are strongly behind PO - Kwankwaso and that's what matters.

NDC has positioned NW where they rightly belong, having the highest voting block in the Northern region.

This is Obi/Kwankwaso crowd somewhere in the North. Kano to be precise.

Incase they don’t know!

How do Nigerian politicians lack shame?

How does one REJOIN a political party?

Modified: It's pleasant to see that Obi has rented a 5 bedroom duplex in the heads of APC manservants.

You think if not for Wike, Obi wouldn't have rejoined the PDP? He was begging to return to the PDP and contest under the umbrella party in 2027 presidential election but Wike turned him down.
So, how is Obi different from Gaya and other politicians?

Not all politicians want that, they want money and control, but the voters are strongly behind PO Kwankwaso and that's what matters.

No be only full control of Kano, he's also in full control of straight of Homus.
Once your Agulu cult leader loses again, you will come here to cry that rhe election has been rigged even though now it's obvious even to the blind that your Agulu packaged cult leader is DOA.

He has realized that the NDC vehicle is useless and can’t convey him to his political destination. The sensible decision is to go back to the rugged, tested and trusted APC vehicle.

Imagine....he was hoping to get an automatic ticket by following kwankwasiya movement.
When he didn't get what he came for,he decided to go back to his 'vomit'!
