Kano 2027: Gov Yusuf plans to dump NNPP for APC

Barring a last-minute change, Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf is reportedly preparing to leave the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), according to sources familiar with the developments.

The move, if it happens, marks a major political shift as Governor Yusuf — who was elected under the NNPP platform with the backing of his mentor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso — weighs his future ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The potential defection comes amid growing speculation that Kwankwaso himself might also consider returning to the APC fold alongside his political allies, a scenario that has stirred debate among political stakeholders.

Analysts say such realignment could significantly affect political calculations in Kano and beyond, particularly with election preparations already gaining momentum.

Details of formal negotiations or any party declarations were not immediately available, and neither Governor Yusuf nor his close advisers have publicly confirmed the reports at the time of filing this story.
