The article discusses a recent visit by the political group of Nasiru Gawuna, a former candidate for the governor of Kano State, to current Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and his deputy, Murtala Sule Garo. This visit is significant because there are rumors that Gawuna's group plans to switch from the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The visit was confirmed by the governor's spokesperson, who shared the news on Facebook. The delegation included key figures like Hon. Muhammad Badaru Umar and Hon. Ali Datti Yako, who is the NDC's deputy chairman in the state. They met with the governor as part of preparations for their expected move to the APC, although specific details about when this change will happen or how many supporters will join them were not provided. This visit comes as political dynamics in Kano are shifting ahead of the 2027 general elections, with various political figures and their supporters realigning with different parties. Gawuna had previously run for governor under the APC, while Governor Yusuf won the election representing the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) after a legal dispute.
