Kano APC welcomes Gov Yusuf, reserves No.001 card for him

The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has welcomed Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, following his resignation from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), expressing optimism that he would formally join the ruling party in the coming days.

The APC State Secretary, Ibrahim Zakari Sarina, disclosed this while responding to questions on the governor’s next move.

“He is welcome. That is all we are going to say for now,” Sarina said.

Although Governor Yusuf has yet to officially declare for the APC, Sarina said the party was hopeful that he would soon align with it, stressing that its doors were fully open to him and his supporters.

“Even though he didn’t specifically declare for APC, hopefully he will soon come to APC. Our doors are open and we welcome him,” he said.

The APC scribe described the development as a welcome boost for the party, noting that the governor was reportedly moving with a large number of elected officials and political appointees.

He added that the party had already taken practical steps in anticipation of the governor’s defection by reserving a special electronic registration number for him.

“We have started e-registration and have reserved the 001 registration number for the governor. Yes, it is true. We reserved that number for him at his Chiranci-Diso ward,” he confirmed.

According to Sarina, the gesture extends beyond the governor alone, as the APC is prepared to accommodate his cabinet members, supporters and political associates.
