APC flags mounted at Kano govt House

Flags of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, have been mounted at the Kano State Government House, a move widely seen as a sign of an ongoing political shift in the state.

Very Nigerian observed the presence of the APC flags during a visit to the Government House, where they were visibly displayed within the premises.

The development comes amid preparations by Governor Abba Yusuf to defect to the APC, following recent political movements in the state.

This follows the reported defection of 21 members of the Kano State House of Assembly, who are said to have moved alongside the governor to the ruling party.

Governor Yusuf, who emerged as the only governor produced by the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, had resigned his membership from the party to join the APC.

The hoisting of the APC flag shows all is set for the governor to formally defect, a development which is expected to reshape the political landscape of the state.

Lawmakers defect

Meanwhile, 21 members of the Kano State House of Assembly have defected from NNPP to APC, marking a major political realignment in the state.

The lawmakers announced their decision on Monday, coming shortly after Governor Abba Yusuf formally resigned from the NNPP following his recent visit to President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.

In his resignation letter to the chairman of the Diso-Chiranchi ward in Gwale Local Government Area, Yusuf blamed his exit on what he described as “deepening internal crises” and “prolonged leadership disputes” within the party.

Also, Governor Yusuf is set to rejoin APC today, following his resignation from NNPP on Friday.

This is contained in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, in Kano on Sunday.

Yusuf had previously joined the APC in 2014, winning the party’s primary election for the Kano Central Senatorial seat.
