On Tuesday evening, a delegation from the political camp of Nasiru Gawuna, a former Kano State gubernatorial candidate, paid a visit to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and Deputy Governor Murtala Sule Garo. The visit was announced by the governor's spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, on his Facebook page, indicating that it was part of preparations for Gawuna's potential return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The delegation, led by Hon. Muhammad Badaru Umar and Hon. Ali Datti Yako, who are identified as the NDC deputy chairman in the state, was present to show solidarity with the governor and his deputy ahead of the anticipated defection. Bature described the visit as a "solidarity visit" but did not provide information on when the formal defection would occur or how many supporters would join the APC.
Gawuna had previously contested the 2023 Kano State governorship election on the APC platform, while Yusuf had contested on the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and emerged victorious after a legal battle.
