Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, is set to rejoin the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday after dumping the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
NPO Reported that the governor had last week Friday withdrew his membership from the NNPP with the APC hinted as his next party.
This would be confirmed in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, in Kano on Sunday.
According to Bature, the move is expected to strengthen cooperation with the Federal Government, accelerate development, enhance security, and improve service delivery in Kano State.
Yusuf had previously joined the APC in 2014, winning the party’s primary election for the Kano Central Senatorial seat.
He will formally register as an APC member alongside 22 state lawmakers, eight federal lawmakers, and 44 local government chairmen.
The Governor will also launch the APC e-registration exercise in the state.
