PRESIDENT TINUBU MEETS KANO GOVERNOR ABBA YUSUF AMID DEFECTION SPECULATIONS

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently holding talks with Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The governor, dressed in a white Agbada and red cap, arrived at the villa around 4:10 pm for the meeting.
The discussions come amid growing speculation over Governor Yusuf’s planned defection from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Reports suggest that negotiations may have hit a snag over whether the governor would be guaranteed an automatic ticket for the 2027 elections.
The potential defection has dominated news headlines for weeks, reportedly causing tensions between supporters of Governor Yusuf and his political godfather, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Observers note that the meeting with President Tinubu may be linked to the ongoing defection talks.
