The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has written a strong petition against the Minister of State for Housing, Yusuf Atta, over his alleged unruly behavior and inflammatory remarks capable of causing chaos and uncertainty in the state.
In the same vein, the party strongly warned the minister to stay away from making comments on party matters, stating that failure to adhere to the warning may risk expulsion from the party.
In a letter dated November 21, 2025, and signed by Abdullahi Abbas, State Chairman of APC Kano, the party expressed concern 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 recognizing 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 behavior may attract “further disciplinary action.”
