The governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, has begun holding meetings with some APC leaders in Kano in preparation for his defection to the ruling party following a failed meeting with President Bola Tinubu in France.
The governor’s had scheduled meeting with Tinubu in Paris, but insiders said the governor cancelled the trip at the eleventh hour.
While others attributed the governor’s abrupt cancellation of the Paris trip to “visa issues”, others alleged that Mr Yusuf did not get the president’s clearance to see him.
It would be recalled that Yusuf had last week held a secret meeting with his godfather, Rabiu Kwankwaso, at his Miller Road residence in Kano.
The meeting was aimed at dousing the tension and backlash that greeted his plan to dump him and defect to the ruling party.
