I’ll serve second term in APC – Gov Yusuf boasts

Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has reacted to a viral slogan suggesting he would serve only one term in office, clarifying his political intentions amid ongoing realignments.

Speaking in a video while addressing a group, Yusuf responded to the Hausa ‘Falle Daya’ (One term) chant directed at him, stating that his first term would be under the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), while a potential second term would be pursued under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said: “Actually, it is only one term in the NNPP party. We will do the second term in the APC.

“As for the ADC party that they have returned to, it will not even do one term, not ever.”

The governor recently defected to the All Progressives Congress from the New Nigeria Peoples Party following a prolonged political crisis involving his estranged political ally, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Announcing his defection, Yusuf stated that the move was taken “in the best interest of the people of Kano state.”

Before leaving the NNPP, he had resigned from the party, citing what he described as “deepening internal crises” and “prolonged leadership disputes.”
