Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has dismissed an invitation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the party, calling it improper and disrespectful.
The move comes after APC National Chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje extended a public invitation to Yusuf and other politicians at a stakeholders’ meeting on Thursday.
Responding through his spokesman, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Yusuf questioned the protocol followed by Ganduje. “We heard that he is begging for the Governor to join the APC,” Dawakin Tofa said. “What is surprising is Ganduje, as a former governor and deputy governor, knows better than anyone the right channel to send a message to a sitting Governor.”
“His Excellency the Governor (Abba Kabir Yusuf) does not have plans to leave his party and will not leave the party.
“Changing a political party is like changing a house, you just cannot wake up, pack your bags and say I have left my party. There are things to be done before you decide to change your house,” he said.
