Ex-Kano Gov Kabiru Gaya returns to APC after closed-door meeting with Yilwatda
Former Kano State Governor and senior political figure, Senator Kabiru Gaya, has agreed to return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His decision came after a private meeting with the party’s National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, at the chairman’s residence on Yaounde Street in Abuja on Monday night.
Reports indicate that the closed-door meeting lasted about 45 minutes.
A source familiar with the meeting confirmed that Gaya agreed to return to the APC during the discussion.
“Yes, Senator Kabiru Gaya has agreed to re-join the APC,” the source said.
The development comes days after Gaya reportedly lost the NDC senatorial ticket for Kano South, despite recently defecting to the opposition party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Gaya resigned from the APC on April 5, briefly joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and later moved to the NDC alongside former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
He served as Governor of Kano State during the Third Republic between 1992 and 1993 and later represented Kano South Senatorial District in the Senate from 2015 to 2023 on the APC platform.
Gaya lost his re-election bid in 2023 to Senator Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila, who contested under the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).th-West.
