Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has welcomed former governor and senator, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, into the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing his return as a major development for the party in the state.
The governor made this known in a press statement issued on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad.
According to the statement, Governor Yusuf said Shekarau’s return would further strengthen the APC’s position in Kano ahead of future elections.
“A date will soon be fixed, in consultation with the national secretariat of the party, for the formal reception of the former Governor into the APC fold,” the governor said.
He added that the party continues to gain momentum in the state, noting that “the party in Kano continues to witness growing support and consolidation, positioning itself as the most dominant political force in the state.”
Governor Yusuf also expressed confidence in the APC’s readiness for the next round of elections, saying the party is fully prepared to contest and win all available positions.
He attributed the party’s optimism to what he described as growing unity and strategic political alignments within its ranks.
The governor further assured members and supporters that the party leadership remains focused on strengthening internal cohesion and expanding its grassroots support base across Kano State.
He urged party loyalists to remain committed and continue mobilising support as the APC prepares for future political contests.
