Gov Yusuf Has Returned Kano To Progressive Politics – North West APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Caucus in the North West zone, has welcomed the governor of  Kano state, Abba Kabir Yusuf into the ruling party, describing his decision as “his best political move since his foray into politics.”

The North West APC said in a statement by its National Vice Chairman, Hon. Garba Datti Muhammad, that his defection

has once again brought Kano into the map of progressive politics which it had been known for in decades.

The zonal caucus said Governor Yusuf has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to progressive politics, which had since gained momentum nationwide.

“We wholeheartedly welcome Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf into the APC family. His decision to align with the progressives is a testament to the impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR’s administration.

“By aligning with the APC, Governor Yusuf has indeed taken a bold step in his political career, bringing on board thousands of his supporters and loyalists to our fold. We in the North West APC and indeed the entirety of the progressive family are genuinely pleased to have him among us.

“Today, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has abandoned opposition and joined the mainstream politics—a patriotic decision that will positively shape his leadership politics and bring more development to Kano State.

“This particular action has once again brought Kano into the map of progressive politics that it has been known for in decades. With the massive transformation and innovative leadership of the APC administration at the centre, it is only natural that every well-meaning leader at the sub-national level will want to be on board and identify with such development.

“No wonder, it has been a period of harvests for the APC with the defections of many hitherto known opposition governors, federal and state legislators, political heavyweights, chieftains, among others, into the ruling party. We will continue to welcome every patriotic politician into our family of progressives,” the statement said.

“We will continue to wax stronger as we approach the 2027 general elections. For us in the APC, we welcome everyone on board,” he added.
