Yusuf To Set Up Committee To Inform Kwankwaso Of Defection Plan.
Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, is set to establish a committee to formally notify the national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, of his decision to defect alongside several members of the National and State Houses of Assembly.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The decision was reportedly reached during a late-night, closed-door meeting held on Thursday.
Sources disclosed that members of the Kano State House of Assembly had advised the governor to personally meet Kwankwaso, whom they described as his political mentor, to formally communicate his intention to leave the NNPP for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The lawmakers reportedly insisted that such a courtesy visit was necessary before any public announcement of the defection.
However, the governor was said to have declined a personal visit, suggesting instead that the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Jibrin Falgore, should lead a delegation to Kwankwaso on his behalf.
Sources said the Speaker, citing the political sensitivity of the matter, politely turned down the request.
“The Speaker said he could not personally confront Kwankwaso with such an issue,” an insider revealed.
Following this development, Governor Yusuf reportedly resolved to constitute a wider committee made up of National Assembly members, State House of Assembly members, and some cabinet officials to visit Kwankwaso on Friday.
The delegation is expected to formally convey the governor’s decision, as well as that of other lawmakers planning to defect.
Sources further disclosed that Governor Yusuf is expected to officially announce his resignation from the NNPP a day after the delegation meets with Kwankwaso.

APC Fires Back at Adeleke Over ₦300bn LG Funds Allegation, Blames Governor for Salary Crisis....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to claims by Governor Ademola Adeleke that local government officials under the party diverted about ₦300 billion meant for workers’ salaries.
Adeleke had made the allegation during a stakeholders’ meeting, accusing APC-controlled council officials of hijacking funds and forcing the state government to shoulder salary payments for local government workers, teachers, health staff, and pensioners for over a year.
He insisted he would not abandon workers, blaming the situation for delays in executing some state projects.
But in a statement, APC’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, dismissed the claims, accusing the governor of misleading the public and shifting blame.
The party alleged that Adeleke was responsible for the salary issues, claiming he refused to release electronic payment vouchers and other financial documents needed for processing payments.
APC also said pension-related records, leave bonuses, cooperative deductions, and other financial data had not been made available despite repeated appeals, insisting that funds were properly accounted for and available for use if approved.
The party urged pensioners and workers to seek clarification, insisting the situation could be resolved if the governor allowed due process to take place.
