APC move: Gov Yusuf secures backing of Kano lawmakers, other stakeholders

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has broken his silence on speculation that he may defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a recent video that has gone viral, the governor addressed the controversy, emphasizing that he prefers to focus on action rather than engage in extensive discussion. He explained that he has never commented on the ongoing talks because he believes in taking action instead of talking excessively.

During the video, Governor Yusuf referenced a Hausa singer’s statement, “Karamar Magana Tazama Babba,” which translates to “what started small has been magnified.” He reiterated his commitment to prioritizing actions that benefit his people rather than engaging in prolonged conversations.

The speculation surrounding Yusuf’s potential defection to the APC has sparked debate in Kano. Some faction members argue that aligning with the federal government would be advantageous for the state, while others within the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) view the move as a betrayal of trust, given the support he received from the party’s leader, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The governor’s comments come amid intense speculation about his political future, with factions in the state both supporting and opposing a possible shift. As the situation unfolds, observers will watch closely to see how Yusuf’s decision may reshape the political landscape in Kano State and the NNPP. The people of Kano await his next move, hopeful that his focus on action will translate into tangible benefits for the region.
