The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has sent a stern warning to the Minister of State for Housing, Yusuf Atta.
In a letter dated November 21, 2025, and signed by Abdullahi Abbas, State Chairman of APC Kano, the party expressed concern over what it described as unruly behaviour and inflammatory remarks by the minister.
In the same vein, the party strongly warned the minister to refrain from making comments on party matters, stating that failure to comply with the warning may risk expulsion from the party.
The party warned that Atta’s comments “have the tendency to provoke misunderstandings and disunity among members.”
The letter was copied to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, Kano State Party Leader, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and the APC North-West Zonal Vice Chairman.
The party noted that Atta “is not assigned a public relations role within the party, and such public comments may be wrongly interpreted as official party positions.” It emphasized that matters relating to party affairs are “strictly within the purview of the APC leadership and its designated spokespersons.”
While recognising Atta’s right to support any aspirant of his choice, the APC reminded him that “by virtue of your position as Hon. Minister and member of the Federal Executive Council, you are expected to engage on issues that will facilitate the unity of all party members.”
The letter further warned that Atta “is in the habit of making uncomplimentary and derogatory public pronouncements” and cautioned that failure to refrain from such behaviour may attract “further disciplinary action.”
