Ganduje’s arrival comes amid intensified political activity in the state as the APC prepares to officially welcome the Kano governor following his decision to defect.
Naija News reports that the former Kano State governor returned to Nigeria from London, where he attended the graduation ceremony of his daughter, Fatima Ganduje, at King’s College London.
Fatima, who is married to Idris Ajimobi, son of the late former Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, earned a Master’s degree from the institution on Thursday.
Ganduje arrived in Abuja aboard a British Airways flight at about 5:30 am on Monday and is expected to proceed to Kano later in the day for a series of key political engagements.
According to a statement issued by his Chief of Staff, Comrade Muhammad Garba, Ganduje will take part in the APC’s ongoing electronic registration of members, a process he initiated during his tenure as national chairman.
The statement added that the former party leader will also be actively involved in events surrounding the planned reception of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf into the APC.
The formal declaration of Yusuf’s membership is expected to attract party leaders and supporters from across Kano State and beyond.
The event is seen as part of the APC’s broader strategy to strengthen its party structure in Kano and consolidate recent political realignments ahead of future elections.
All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Abdulmumini Jibrin has alleged that members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) are intentionally orchestrating unrest and turmoil in Kano as the 2027 general elections approach. This accusation follows provocative incidents where symbols like the APC broom and caps bearing President Bola Tinubu’s signature were set ablaze, prompting retaliatory burning of Kwankwansiya caps linked to NDC vice-presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
During an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Jibrin asserted that the opposition is resorting to these tactics because they recognize they are facing certain defeat in the state, particularly within the critical Kano South swing zone. He emphasized that the opposition’s actions were a deliberate strategy to trigger a crisis right before the start of the campaign, assuring the public that the ruling party will not allow those efforts to succeed.
The newly re-elected Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, recently embarked on a series of political consultations in Abuja, starting with a visit to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. Lere Olayinka, the media aide to the FCT minister, shared a photograph on social media documenting the meeting, which featured Adeleke and Wike shaking hands while displaying the governor’s certificate of return.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
This engagement followed closely on the heels of a closed-door meeting between Governor Adeleke and President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, where the governor presented his official return documents and expressed appreciation regarding the recent electoral process. During their discussions, President Tinubu advised the governor to foster an environment of unity and refrain from marginalizing political opponents, emphasizing that winning an election represents a democratic mandate rather than a conquest.
President Bola Tinubu has firmly criticized former vice-presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, dismissing his recent proposal to reinstate the petrol subsidy regime as a fundamental lack of understanding of economic management and governance.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Upon taking office, the current administration discontinued the fuel subsidy and floated the national currency to address structural economic imbalances. While these sweeping policy changes triggered widespread financial pressures and heightened the cost of living for average citizens, the government maintains that the reforms were essential for long-term fiscal stability.
Addressing critics from the Presidential Villa, President Tinubu defended the decision by highlighting its immediate impact on sub-national finances. He pointed out that prior to the intervention, numerous state governments struggled to meet monthly obligations to workers and retirees. According to the administration, the savings generated from ending the subsidy have since enabled states to consistently service salary arrears and pension commitments, framing the policy shift as a vital corrective measure for the nation’s broader financial framework.
