Surprise Reunion in Kano! — Governor Abba Yusuf and Ex-Governor Ganduje Meet for the First Time Since 2023 Election
In a rare and unexpected encounter, Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and his predecessor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, came face-to-face on Tuesday for the first time since the fiercely contested 2023 gubernatorial election.
According to DAILY POST, the meeting occurred at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, marking nearly two years since the political rivals last crossed paths.
Witnesses described the moment as cordial and surprisingly friendly, as both men exchanged pleasantries despite their history of political tension.
Ganduje, who currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), was reportedly in Kano for an inspection visit, while Governor Yusuf was preparing to board a flight to Abuja.
Their unexpected encounter comes years after Ganduje chose not to personally hand over power to Yusuf in 2023, instead delegating the task to then Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji.
Governor Yusuf of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) had defeated Ganduje’s preferred candidate, Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in what was one of Nigeria’s most intense gubernatorial races.
The brief exchange at the airport has since stirred public interest, with many interpreting it as a possible symbol of reconciliation or at least mutual respect between two of Kano’s most influential political figures.
