The Former National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, has told the returning Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to their party that all those aspiring for the gubernatorial seat have agreed to forfeit their aspirations in his favour.
While formally receiving the governor back into the APC, he said, “I can categorically tell you that you are going to wins 2027 with a landslide because all those contesting for the same seat have agreed to allow you alone go for it.”
Ganduje added, “to us, leaders of the APC, this is a memorable occasion we are all waiting for. I strongly welcomed Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf back to his home.”
He further reminded that, “we were in APC together with you, it was formed with you, but later on because of some political differences, political redirection, you left the party to NNPP. But now we are thankful that you are back to our party and your home.
“You as our brother, the Governor of Kano State, you are a progressive politician from your utterances, your policies and the implementation of those policies.”
He noted that in terms of APC policies, Governor Yusuf is the leader of the party today in Kano.
Ganduje, who sought to put to rest speculation and disagreement over who will lead the party in Kano, said Governor Yusuf now stands as the leader of the party in the state.
He also remarked that President Tinubu is a true Nigerian, a true politician who treats citizens not based on their religion or ethnicity, assuring that Abba will win in 2027.
The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, commended Governor Yusuf for the bold decision to return to the APC, insisting that the decision is a lasting one.
