KANO GOV YUSUF SEEN AT ASO ROCK — DEFLECTION RUMORS SWIRL

Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf visited President Bola Tinubu at the State House, Abuja, in a meeting that lasted over three hours. The governor arrived at 4:13 p.m. local time and left quietly, declining to comment to reporters about the purpose of his visit.

The meeting comes amid rumors of a possible defection from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Recent reports suggest that Kano politics is on edge, as such a move would be strongly opposed by NNPP leadership, including the party’s national leader, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

While nothing has been officially confirmed, the political atmosphere in Kano is tense, with party watchers and citizens closely monitoring the developments.

As the story unfolds, Fintter will bring you verified updates on this high-stakes political encounter.

Tinubu Not A Political ‘Orphan’ In Northern Nigeria — Jibrin
By Nosakhale Akhimien | Updated September 3, 2025

House of Representatives member Abdulmumin Jibrin has dismissed claims that President Bola Tinubu lacks political backing in the North, stressing that the president still enjoys strong support despite opposition.

Speaking on Politics Today, the NNPP chieftain said it would be a “dangerous calculation” to assume Tinubu is politically isolated in the region, adding that the North has not been short-changed under his administration.

Jibrin also rejected suggestions that Tinubu is to blame for worsening insecurity in the North, insisting the president cannot be held solely responsible.

On the NNPP leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Jibrin confirmed that discussions about a possible return to the APC remain open, though vested interests in Kano politics could pose challenges.

He maintained that the South should complete its eight years in power and expressed confidence that Tinubu will secure re-election in 2027.
