Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has stated that his decision to join the All Progressives Congress was motivated by a desire to strategically connect Kano State with the center of national governance in order to speed development.
Yusuf made the statements on Monday while addressing a large crowd at Kano’s Sani Abacha Stadium for the 2026 Grand Rally.
This was disclosed in a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa.

The governor said Kano is too large and strategically important to remain politically disconnected from the federal government.
“It is about placing Kano in a position where it can fully participate in national development and secure a better future for its citizens,” Yusuf said, adding that the move is not about personal ambition but about responsibility to the people of the state.
He emphasised that Kano must actively engage in the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, noting that the President’s reforms require serious governance and diligent implementation to benefit the nation.
“With the support of our great party and the cooperation of the Federal Government, Kano State is better positioned to move forward with confidence and stability,” he added.
