Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has reacted to the invitation of the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje calling on him and others to join the party.

Yusuf, who spoke through his spokesman, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, said Ganduje did not follow the right channel.

Daily Trust reports that after a stakeholders’ meeting of the APC in Kano on Thursday, Ganduje asked Yusuf to abandon the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) for the APC.

He 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.”

But reacting, the Governor 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.

“His Excellency the Governor (Abba Kabir Yusuf) does not have plans to leave his party and will not leave the party.

“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,” he explained.
