The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has petitioned against Minister of State for Housing, Yusuf Atta, over his alleged unruly behavior and inflammatory remarks. The party claims that Atta’s comments could cause chaos and uncertainty in the state. In a letter dated 21 November 2025, signed by APC Kano State Chairman Abdullahi Abbas, the party expressed concern that Atta’s statements “have the tendency to provoke misunderstandings and disunity among members.” The letter was addressed to key party leaders, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, and Kano State Party Leader Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
The APC warned Atta to refrain from making public comments on party matters, stating that such actions may be misconstrued as official party positions. As a minister and member of the Federal Executive Council, Atta is expected to promote unity among party members. However, the party noted that Atta has a history of making “uncomplimentary and derogatory public pronouncements,” which could attract further disciplinary action if he fails to desist.
While recognizing Atta’s right to support any aspirant of his choice, the APC emphasized that party affairs are strictly within the purview of the APC leadership and its designated spokespersons. The warning is seen as an effort to maintain unity and discipline within the party’s ranks as it navigates internal dynamics ahead of future elections.
The development reflects the APC’s commitment to ensuring that its members adhere to its code of conduct and present a united front. As one of Nigeria’s major political parties, the APC’s internal affairs are closely watched by observers and analysts, and the outcome of this situation will likely be monitored for its implications on the party’s future direction and cohesion.
