Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has met with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
The closed-door meeting comes amid speculation over a possible defection by Governor Yusuf, who was elected on the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Recall that the national leader of the NNPP, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, had earlier dismissed reports suggesting that he had approved or endorsed any planned defection by the Kano State Governor, insisting that no such consent had been given.
Details of the meeting are expected to emerge later.
