FCT, Abuja - The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has lambasted the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development.
Abdullahi Abbas claimed that Yusuf Abdullahi Ata was not a member of the ruling party and had no idea why President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had appointed him.

As reported by Daily Trust, Abbas made this counter-statement while responding to the swipe Ata took at him recently during an interview on BBC Hausa.
The minister threatened that he and his supporters would leave the APC if Abbas or anyone like him was reinstated as the party’s chairman in the state.
According to Ata, Abba’s utterances were one of the reasons why God took power away from APC despite a clear win in the 2023 governorship elections.
“This is my position to this day. We oppose the reinstatement of the current APC leadership in Kano, given what happened in the last election. We will not accept this situation again. If the leadership remains, I will resign from my ministerial post and leave the APC."
Reacting, the APC chairman in the state alleged that Ata had worked against the party during the 2023 election and had communicated the same to President Tinubu.
Abbas used the outcome of the local government elections to back up his argument.
“To us APC members, Yusuf Ata is not a member of the APC. We don’t even know why he was appointed a minister. All over Kano State, it was only in his local government we came third during the 2023 election.
“We were not aware that he was being appointed a minister. We told the president that he is not a member of our party. He did anti-party. He is only a local champion," the chairman added.
