Gov. Yusuf Set to Rejoin APC in Kano on Monday

Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, is set to rejoin the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday, January 26, 2026, following his resignation from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) last Friday.

The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Sunday by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.

According to the statement, Governor Yusuf first joined the APC in 2014, when he emerged as the party’s candidate for the Kano Central Senatorial seat, a position he later conceded to Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

It explained that after years of political engagement across different platforms, including his most recent stint in the NNPP, prevailing realities of governance, national cohesion, and development informed the governor’s decision to return to the APC, which he described as a familiar and structured platform for progressive governance.

Governor Yusuf stated that rejoining the APC would strengthen cooperation with the Federal Government, accelerate infrastructural development, enhance security coordination, and improve service delivery across Kano State.

He added that the move would also contribute to political stability and unity within the state.

The statement further revealed that on Monday, January 26, 2026, the governor will formally register as a member of the APC in Kano alongside 22 members of the Kano State House of Assembly, eight members of the House of Representatives, and all 44 local government chairmen in the state.

Governor Yusuf is also expected to officially launch the APC electronic registration (e-registration) exercise in Kano on the same day.
