The invitation was extended during a recent APC stakeholders' meeting in Kano, where Ganduje encouraged Yusuf to leave the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) and join the APC.
As quoted by Daily Trust, Ganduje said:
“We are appealing to those who want join APC to come. In particular, we are inviting the Governor of Kano and his NNPP to join APC.”
Governor Yusuf replies to Ganduje's offer
In reaction to the invitation, Governor Yusuf said:
“We heard that he is begging for the Governor to join the APC, what is surprising is Ganduje as a former governor and former Deputy Governor knows better than anyone the right channel to send a message to a sitting Governor."
As contained in his statement, he reiterated that he had no plans to leave the NNPP and would not leave the party.
He said:
“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.”
Kano Governor told to arrest ex-commissioner who threatened to kill judges
In another report, a chieftain of the APC, Dawisu, has expressed hope Governor Yusuf will arrest its former commissioner and adviser, who threatened to kill judges.
Dawisu's call comes after the DSS arrested a Kano-based politician, Abdulmajid Danbilki Kwamanda, over his alleged threat to mobilise the masses to begin an uprising and make Kano ungovernable.
