After governor’s exit, 21 Kano lawmakers join APC with Abba Yusuf

Twenty-one members of the Kano State House of Assembly have defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), deepening a major political shift in the state. The move came shortly after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf formally resigned from the NNPP following his recent visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.​ In his resignation letter to the chairman of the Diso‑Chiranchi ward in Gwale Local Government Area, Yusuf cited “deepening internal crises” and “prolonged leadership disputes” within the NNPP as reasons for his exit. His defection was carried out alongside 21 state lawmakers, eight members of the House of Representatives and all 44 local government chairmen across Kano State, signalling a sweeping realignment.​ Prominent among the defectors are the Speaker of the House, Jibril Ismail Falgore (Rogo), and the Deputy […]

APC chieftain hails Gov Yusuf’s defection as turning point for Kano

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Ahmed Dankabo, has described Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s reported defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the APC as a defining moment in the state’s political history. In a statement issued in Abuja, he said the long‑anticipated move marks a watershed for Kano politics and a major milestone in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic.​ Dankabo, a member of the APC 2023 Presidential Campaign Council in Kano, said the people of the state stand to gain the most from the governor’s decision, pointing to the prospect of improved governance and stronger alignment with federal policies. He argued that Yusuf’s switch has triggered a “political tsunami” across Kano, with citizens from all walks of life embracing the ruling party.​ “The momentum on the ground is overwhelming,” he said, insisting that Kano […]

2027: Musawa warns APC against dropping Northern Muslim running mate

Minister of Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) against altering President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 presidential ticket in a way that removes a Northern Muslim running mate. She said such a move could cost the ruling party vital support across the core North.​ Speaking on Seun Okinbaloye’s Mic On Show, Musawa addressed debates over reviewing the Muslim–Muslim ticket used in 2023. She argued that dropping Vice President Kashim Shettima or replacing him with a non‑Northern Muslim would create serious political complications, given regional sensitivities.​ “If there is no Hausa, Fulani or Kanuri Muslim on that ticket, it creates a hurdle. That is the reality of the way people think,” she said, stressing that electoral politics in the North is shaped by long‑standing social and political structures. She listed Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Kebbi, […]

Atiku has been contesting presidency since my NYSC days, says Baba Ahmed

Labour Party’s 2023 vice presidential candidate, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed, says he is shocked that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is still seeking the presidency in 2027. He recalled that Atiku has been pursuing the nation’s top job since his own National Youth Service Corps days and has already contested several times without success.​ Speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, Baba Ahmed argued that Nigeria urgently needs a new generation of leaders. He said many capable Nigerians are ready to address the country’s problems but are discouraged by an expensive, difficult political system dominated by godfathers and broken promises.​ He stressed that his comments were not a declaration for the 2027 presidential race. Baba Ahmed explained that he only reaffirmed his membership of the Labour Party and did not announce any ambition, adding that future decisions will depend […]

Kwankwaso and Governor Yusuf split over APC defection move

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s plan to defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party to the All Progressives Congress has widened his rift with NNPP leader Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and split the party’s structures in Kano. As Yusuf marked his 63rd birthday in Abuja with top officials and allies, Kwankwaso stayed back in Kano, opening a loyalty register for office holders and holding meetings with Kwankwasiyya loyalists to confirm who still stands with him.​ The governor is said to enjoy the backing of all 40 members of the Kano State House of Assembly and the 44 local government chairmen, positioning him strongly for a move to the APC. However, NNPP federal lawmakers from Kano are divided, with some already crossing to the APC while others, such as Umar Mukhtari Zakari of Tarauni, openly oppose the defection plan.​ Several […]

Six Rivers PDP Reps defect to APC over party crisis

Their defection letters were read on the floor by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen during Tuesday’s plenary.​ The lawmakers are Dum Dekor, Solomon Bob, Hart Cyril Godwin, Victor Obuzor, Blessing Amadi and Felix Nweke. They all represent different federal constituencies in Rivers State and were elected on the PDP platform in the last general election.​ In their letters, the Reps said they were leaving the PDP because of unresolved leadership crises and deep divisions within the party. They claimed the lingering internal conflicts had made it difficult to effectively represent their constituents.​ The defectors added that their decisions came after due consultations with stakeholders in their constituencies. According to them, the APC under President Bola Tinubu now offers a more […]

Presidency Says Tinubu Won’t Use EFCC To Harass Opposition Over Defections

The Presidency has rejected suggestions that President Bola Tinubu is weaponising the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission against opposition figures in order to pressure them into joining the ruling All Progressives Congress. It described such claims as baseless and the product of a “failed opposition” running out of issues to campaign on.​ In a statement issued in Abuja by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the Presidency said Tinubu would never deploy the EFCC to harass, intimidate or blackmail political rivals. Onanuga stressed that recent high profile defections to the APC were voluntary and motivated by confidence in the president’s reform agenda.​ He noted that Nigeria’s Constitution guarantees freedom of association and the right to change political affiliation at any time. According to him, no one has been compelled to join the APC and it is wrong to […]

Fears of One-Party Dominance Rise as Violent PDP Crisis Threatens Democracy

Fears of One-Party Dominance Rise as Violent PDP Crisis Threatens Democracy Nigeria’s democracy faces mounting threats as violent scenes at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headquarters expose deepening rifts within the opposition. The struggle between Makinde-Bala Mohammed leadership and the Wike-backed faction resulted in the storming of the party secretariat, tear gas confrontations, and journalists injured in Abuja. The Wike faction expelled three governors—Seyi Makinde, Bala Mohammed, and Dauda Lawal—and several senior party leaders, escalating what observers call the largest purge in PDP history. Amid police intervention, Kabiru Turaki and his allies accused “enemies of democracy” of assaulting the party and praised law enforcement for preventing further bloodshed, though the crisis forced meetings to be postponed. Reacting to the incident, opposition parties ADC and MCE warned the ruling APC was destabilizing the opposition and accused the government of abusing state […]

Taraba State Governor Kefas to Join APC on Wednesday

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas is officially set to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, after publicly confirming his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The move comes after several rounds of consultations and endorsement by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and top APC leaders. In preparation for the event, Governor Kefas has already inspected the venue for the defection ceremony and has been holding strategic meetings with key APC stakeholders in Abuja, including youth representatives at T.Y. Danjuma House in Asokoro. Party sources say the APC is set to organize a high-profile ceremony to welcome Kefas, which many analysts predict will strengthen the party’s presence in Taraba State and the Northeast ahead of the 2027 general elections. Kefas’s decision is part of a trend of major realignments in Nigeria’s political scene, as influential leaders […]
