President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently in a closed-doors meeting with Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Governor Yusuf, dressed in a white agbada and red cap, arrived at the Villa around 4:10 PM. The meeting is taking place in the President’s office.
The talks come amid intense speculation about Governor Yusuf’s planned defection from the New Nigeria Peopleโs Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Negotiations are said to have stalled over demands for an automatic ticket for the governor in the 2027 elections.
The potential defection has caused significant tension between the governor’s supporters and those of his political godfather, NNPP leader Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Todayโs meeting with President Tinubu is believed to be directly connected to these ongoing political realignment discussions.
