Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf is reportedly considering a move from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), sources close to the situation have disclosed.

If confirmed, the defection would signal a major political realignment in the state. Yusuf, who won the governorship on the NNPP platform with the support of his political mentor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is said to be reassessing his political options as the 2027 general elections draw closer.

The reports have also reignited speculation that Kwankwaso may be contemplating a return to the APC alongside key members of his political structure, a development that has sparked conversations among party leaders and political observers.

Political analysts note that such a shift could reshape electoral dynamics in Kano and influence broader political strategies nationwide, especially as early preparations for the next election cycle intensify.

As of the time of filing this report, details of any formal talks remain unclear, and neither Governor Yusuf nor his aides have issued an official statement confirming the reported move.
