Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has returned to the country ahead of the impending defection by Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to the ruling party. “Following his return, the former APC National Chairman is expected to commence a series of consultations and stakeholders’ meetings focusing on recent political developments in Kano State. Ganduje is also expected to go for the ongoing APC nationwide electronic membership registration (e-registration) exercise. The initiative, which he pioneered during his tenure as National Chairman, was designed to modernise the party’s membership database, enhance internal planning and ensure that APC membership records are comprehensive, credible and easily accessible”. The impending political migration has largely divided the ranks of Kwankwasiyya loyalists.
