With high-profile defections to APC, Tinubu’s camp appears to be gaining momentum—but Kano’s political heart may not be so easily won. Opportunism or genuine support?
- Yunusa Dangwani, ex-Kwankwaso confidant, joins APC, sending shockwaves through Kano’s political base.
- His move follows a broader trend of defections to the ruling party from PDP and NNPP ranks.
- Governor Uzodimma claims sitting governors are also quietly aligning with the APC, signaling a larger realignment ahead of 2027.
- But Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf remains loyal to Kwankwaso, indicating the NNPP’s core support isn’t hollowing out.
- Suspicion lingers: Are these new APC converts assets or liabilities in disguise?
In Kano, many voters are wary. Dangwani’s switch raises fears of political betrayal and deepens mistrust in elite power games. Voters ask: Who’s representing us?
Is APC building a winning coalition—or inviting Trojan horses into its ranks? With Kano on a knife’s edge, the North may define whether Tinubu’s second-term dream is realized or ruptured.
