<p>The Kano State Government has strongly dismissed claims that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) out of fear of losing his chances for a second-term ticket under the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), describing the allegation as false and misleading.</p><div class="XrYHVaR4" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>In a press statement issued on April 3, 2026, the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, responded to remarks attributed to the immediate past Commissioner for Investment, Commerce and Industry, Shehu Wada Sagagi. Sagagi had reportedly alleged that the governor’s political realignment was motivated by concerns over his political future within the NNPP.</p>
<p>The state government, however, rejected the claim outright, stating that it was “baseless” and a deliberate attempt to misinform the public.</p>

<p>According to the statement, Governor Yusuf’s decision to realign politically was made in the broader interest of peace, unity, and sustainable development in Kano State. The government described the move as strategic and well thought out, aimed at strengthening collaboration and ensuring that the benefits of governance are extended to all residents without discrimination.</p><div class="FcogzXAr" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>“The insinuation that the Governor acted out of fear is not only misleading but disregards his strong political standing and wide acceptance among the people,” the statement said.</p>

<p>The government further emphasized that Governor Yusuf remains committed to his “Kano First” agenda, which focuses on improving infrastructure, boosting economic growth, and enhancing social stability across the state.</p>
<p>Waiya urged the public to disregard Sagagi’s claims, insisting they do not reflect the true situation. He reiterated the administration’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and continued progress.</p>
<p>Despite the controversy, the Kano State Government maintained that it would not be distracted by what it described as unfounded allegations, but would remain focused on delivering its mandate to the people.</p>
