Kano State Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf will formally rejoin the All Progressives Congress on Monday, January 26, 2026. This follows his resignation from the New Nigeria Peoples Party last Friday. The announcement was made in a press release issued on Sunday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa. The statement detailed Yusuf’s political history, noting he first joined the APC in 2014 when he won the party’s primary for the Kano Central Senatorial seat, which he later conceded to Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. After years in various political platforms, including his recent tenure with the NNPP, Governor Yusuf explained his return to the APC. He cited “prevailing realities of governance, national cohesion and development” as key reasons. He described the APC as a “familiar and structured platform for progressive governance.” The governor emphasized the expected benefits of the move. “It will strengthen ties with the Federal Government, accelerate infrastructure projects, improve security coordination, and enhance service delivery across Kano State,” the statement read. It is also expected to foster greater political stability and unity within the state. On Monday, Governor Yusuf will officially register as an APC member in Kano. He will be accompanied by 22 members of the State House of Assembly, eight federal House of Representatives members, and all 44 Local Government Chairmen. His schedule also includes launching the APC’s e-registration exercise in the state.
