Yahaya Musa Kwankwaso, Deputy Director of Protocol and brother of former governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has thrown his support behind Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf in the latter’s defection from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The development signals growing political realignments within Kano State, as key figures close to the Kwankwasiyya movement take positions in response to the governor’s party switch. Yahaya Kwankwaso’s backing is expected to influence stakeholders and consolidate support for the governor’s new political alignment.
