APC flags mounted at Kano Government House as Governor Abba Yusuf set to defect +video

Activities at the Kano State Government House took a dramatic political turn on Monday as flags and banners of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were mounted ahead of the expected defection of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to the ruling party.

Early morning developments around the Government House showed visible preparations, with APC insignia prominently displayed, fueling speculations that the governor’s formal switch of allegiance would take place later in the day.

Sources within the state government confirmed that arrangements had been concluded for the defection ceremony, which is expected to attract top APC leaders from Abuja and other parts of the country, as well as party supporters across Kano State.

Governor Yusuf, who was elected on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has in recent months been the subject of intense political negotiations amid realignments within the state’s political landscape.

Although there has been no official statement yet from the governor or his aides as of the time of filing this report, the mounting of APC materials at the seat of power is widely seen as a strong indication that the defection is imminent.

Security has also been tightened around the Government House, with a noticeable presence of security personnel to ensure order during the anticipated political event.

More details are expected to emerge as the day unfolds.
