Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has welcomed former governor and senator, Ibrahim Shekarau, into the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing his return as a major boost to the party’s strength in the state.
This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, who said the development reflects the party’s growing appeal and consolidation in Kano.
Governor Yusuf said a date would soon be announced, in consultation with the party’s national secretariat, for the formal reception of Shekarau into the APC.
He noted that the party “continues to witness increasing support and consolidation,” positioning it as a dominant force in the state.
According to the statement, the governor expressed confidence in the party’s readiness for future elections, stressing that unity and strategic political alignments are key to its rising strength.
He added that the APC is “battle-ready to win all elective positions” in the forthcoming polls.
Yusuf further assured members that the leadership remains committed to strengthening internal cohesion and expanding its grassroots base across Kano.
He urged party loyalists to remain steadfast and intensify mobilisation efforts.
“We call on all party faithful to remain committed and continue mobilising support as we prepare for future political contests,” the governor said.
