The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has arrived in Kano to participate in the formal declaration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s membership of the APC.
Ganduje returned to Nigeria from London, where he attended the graduation ceremony of his daughter, Fatima, at King’s College London.
Fatima, who is married to Idris Ajimobi, son of the late former Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, graduated on Thursday with a Master’s degree from the prestigious institution.
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 to commence a series of major political engagements in the state.
According to a statement signed by his Chief of Staff, Comrade Muhammad Garba, the former governor is scheduled to participate in the APC’s electronic registration of members, a programme he initiated during his tenure as national chairman of the party.
He is also expected to play a prominent role in activities surrounding the planned reception of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, who is set to formally defect to the APC.
The developments are seen as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen party structures and consolidate recent political realignments within the state.
