The Digest:

Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State have purchased expression of interest and nomination forms for Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, symbolically adopting him as the party's governorship candidate. Former APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje presented the forms. The stakeholders also endorsed President Bola Tinubu as the sole presidential candidate. However, they ruled out automatic tickets for other aspirants.

Key Points:
  • All other positions will be determined through internal processes, particularly consensus.
  • Ganduje presented the forms, saying, "We have already agreed that you are our sole governorship candidate."
  • The motion for Tinubu's adoption was moved by Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi and was unanimously supported.

  • The endorsement comes as preparations for the 2027 elections intensify.
