Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf Has Embraced APC Members Without Discrimination Calls for Unity and Grassroots Mobilization Ahead of Elections-Dr. DAN’AGUNDI.
The Director General of the National Productivity Center, Dr. Baffa Babba Dan’agundi, has commended the Executive Governor of Kano State, His Excellency Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, for what he described as a rare demonstration of fairness, justice, and inclusive leadership following his entry into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Dr. Dan’agundi made this known while addressing journalists in his office, where he expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for what he termed a positive political development for the APC in Kano State. According to him, the Governor’s decision to join the party has strengthened unity and reinforced confidence among members.
He emphasized that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has demonstrated true statesmanship by embracing party members without bias. In his words, “Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf welcomed us with open arms and without any form of discrimination. He has shown that he is a just and fair leader who is committed to unity within the APC.”
“In several areas where Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf was entitled to about 60 percent of the APC leadership positions, he willingly stepped aside and allowed the original APC members to present the majority of candidates. He did this deliberately to demonstrate that we are now one united family and to ensure fairness and collective progress,” he said.
Calling on party members to consolidate on the existing unity, Dr. Dan’agundi specifically appealed to the original APC members to stand firmly by their leader, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, by demonstrating loyalty through total support and obedience to the Governor of Kano State as the recognized leader of the APC in Kano. He emphasized that party discipline requires a clear chain of command.
“Our respected leader, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has always guided us toward unity and structure. Therefore, all original APC members must show their loyalty to him by giving full support and obedience to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf as the APC leader in Kano State. As directed by our leaders, we must operate under one command and one direction,” he stated.
Speaking on behalf of the Tinubu Support Groups in Kano State, Dr. Dan’agundi pledged full commitment to grassroots mobilization ahead of the forthcoming elections. “We will do everything humanly possible, from the grassroots to the polling units, to ensure the victory of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and all APC candidates in the next election,” he affirmed.
He also expressed satisfaction with the growing spirit of cooperation among party leaders at the local level, particularly in Kano Municipal Local Government. He commended the Local Government Chairman, Hon. Salim Hashim, the elected Member of the Kano State House of Assembly, Hon. Nabil Sarki Aliyu, Alhaji Nura Hussaini (President) and other leaders of the Kwankwasiyya movement that moved to APC for fostering unity and working collectively toward the success of the APC. He urged other local governments across Kano State to emulate the Kano Municipal example in order to strengthen party cohesion, stability, and secure electoral victory across the state.
