Defections:Kano More Politically United Than Ever – Gov. Yusuf
By Abdullahi Yusuf
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has said that political stakeholders in the state are now experiencing an unprecedented level of unity, attributing the development to his recent defection alongside other political figures to the All Progressives Congress(APC).
A statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary,Mustapha Muhammad, said the Governor made the remarks while receiving members of the APC Ward and Local Government Congresses Committee during a courtesy visit at the Government House on Monday.
He described the current atmosphere as the most cohesive in Kano’s political history.
“Since we decamped to the APC, the largest political party in Africa, we have continued to witness increasing unity across Kano State.
“People who were previously divided are now coming together. Even families that were politically separated are reuniting,” the Governor said.
Reiterating his rationale for joining the ruling party, Yusuf stressed the importance of aligning with the Federal Government for the overall development of the state.
“Anyone who truly means well for the people of Kano should align with the Federal Government, because we have missed a lot in the past,” he said.
Yusuf commended members of the Ward and Local Government Congresses Committee for what he described as the peaceful and successful conduct of the party congresses across the state.
“I must commend you for the excellent work done during the Ward and Local Government Congresses. Your dedication has strengthened our democratic process,” he said.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Ward/LGA Congresses Committee, Mr. Lantep Dabang, praised the Governor for his leadership style and fairness, particularly during the sharing of party positions.
“We thank His Excellency for the maturity, compassion, and exemplary leadership he demonstrated, especially during the sharing formula of positions,” Dabang said.
He further described the Governor as:
“A man of integrity and justice, whose leadership continues to inspire confidence among party members.”
The meeting underscored what party leaders described as a renewed commitment to unity and cooperation among political actors in the state.
