Ganduje Cannot Direct Me — Gov Yusuf Declares Leadership in Kano

 Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has asserted that former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, has no authority to issue directives to him.

Yusuf maintained that as the sitting governor, he remains the political leader in Kano State, stressing that leadership within the state cannot be dictated by external forces.

The governor’s remarks come amid ongoing political tensions and rivalry between key figures in Kano’s political landscape, particularly between the ruling state government and opposition elements.

He reiterated his commitment to governing the state independently, adding that his administration’s decisions would be guided by the interests of the people of Kano rather than outside influence.

The development underscores the persistent political divisions in Kano, one of Nigeria’s most politically significant states, as stakeholders continue to position themselves ahead of future electoral contests.
