However, Ganduje on Thursday, January 25, wooed Yusuf and his godfather Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso as well as Ibrahim Shekarau of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), asking them to join APC, according to him, in the interest of Nigerians and the country.
According to Ganduje, the APC would commence e-registration, and the target is to get the highest number of members from the state and also have a one-party state.
Governor Yusuf reacts to Ganduje's invitation to dump APC for NNPP
In his reaction, Yusuf, however, rejected Ganduje’s invitation, telling the APC national chairman he would not exit from NNPP.
The governor spoke in a statement by his media director, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
The statement partly read:
“Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf does not have plans to leave his party and will not leave the party. Changing a political party is like changing a house. You just cannot wake up, pack your bags, and say I have left my party. There are things to be done before you decide to change your house.”
