Arise News Editor for Politics, Sumner Sambo, has stated that President Bola Tinubu<\/strong> is divided over the defection of the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, to the All Progressives Congress (APC) without a firm commitment from the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Rabiu Kwankwaso.<\/p>\n Abia Radio News<\/strong> reports that Sambo, while speaking on Arise Television\u2019s Morning Show, said Tinubu\u2019s interest is tied mainly to the influence and structure of the Kwankwasiyya movement rather than Yusuf\u2019s personal political weight.<\/p>\n According to Sambo, the political developments in Kano State have placed Yusuf in a difficult position, emphasising that without Kwankwaso moving alongside the Governor to the APC, his political trajectory would face serious challenges.<\/p>\n Sambo further revealed that the planned electronic registration of the APC in Kano State has been stalled, stressing that the registration exercise, which was expected to commence, was delayed following a directive that Governor Yusuf be given about a week to register first.<\/p>\n He added that the Governor was also tasked with engaging Kwankwaso in further discussions aimed at persuading him to join the APC.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cWhen you come to the issue of Kano, it\u2019s an exciting development that\u2019s happening there. And I can tell you that it\u2019s a very difficult situation for Governor Abba Yusuf, because President Tinubu <\/a>seems to be understanding what\u2019s at play right now. And that\u2019s why you can see that even the President is skeptical about Abba Yusuf coming to the APC, because without Kwankwaso joining that ticket in moving into the APC, Abba\u2019s political trajectory will just be a huge challenge. It will face a huge challenge. Because the reason why Tinubu <\/a>actually went for the Governor, it\u2019s not because of the Governor himself, but because of the \u201cKwankwansiya movement\u201d, led by its leader, Kwankwaso, and so that will back Governor Abba Yusuf to use the state structure to be able to deliver the APC.<\/i><\/p>\n
