Why NNPP members want Yusuf's resignation
In a communique sent to Legit.ng on Monday, April 15, the stakeholders maintained that Yusuf had deviated from the party's objective and was no longer following the blueprint of the NNPP's development plans for the people of the state.

The president of the group, honourable Attahiru Musa, and its secretary, Simeon Pam, maintained that Yusuf has started deploying the techniques of political vendetta and witch-hunting.
The communique reads in part:
“As stakeholders, we can no longer pretend that all is well when clearly, nothing is working. Kano State was supposed to be the model for the Federal Government to follow.”
What project has Yusuf done as Kano governor?
The stakeholders lamented that Kano state was supposed to be the centre for good leadership and governance, which would have challenged the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government.
They, however, said the reverse has been the case.
They expressed concerns that the governor appeared to lack ideology and that the NNPP had not shown a development plan using the state as a template.
Why I rejected Governor Yusuf's handshake - Musa
Legit.ng earlier reported that Ahmed Musa, a former Nigerian forward, explained why he did not shake hands with the Kano governor.
The former Super Eagles captain said his action was culturally informed and expressed disappointment over different interpretations on social media.
Musa said bending down for the elderly was the highest form of respect in the northern region where he is from.
