In a recent twist of political dynamics, Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf responds to the invitation from APC National Chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, asserting that the invitation didn't follow the right channel. Through his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Governor Yusuf emphasized the importance of proper communication channels in such matters, highlighting the intricacies of political allegiance and the meticulous process akin to changing one's residence.
Yusuf's firm stance comes amid rumors that Ganduje, a former governor and deputy governor, seemingly overlooked established protocols. "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," remarked Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
The Governor's spokesman continued, stating, "His Excellency the Governor (Abba Kabir Yusuf) does not have plans to leave his party and will not leave the party." The analogy of changing a political party being compared to changing a house was drawn, emphasizing that such decisions require careful consideration and cannot be hastily made.
"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,'" explained Dawakin Tofa, shedding light on the intricacies involved in such political transitions.
The political landscape is now marked by a strategic move by Governor Yusuf, as he navigates the delicate balance between political affiliations. The invitation from APC's National Chairman hangs in uncertainty as the Governor plays his cards with precision on the ever-shifting chessboard of Nigerian politics. As speculations rise and political observers keenly watch, the narrative unfolds, leaving room for further intrigue and strategic maneuvering in the days to come.
