Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Monday urged all governorship aspirants to step aside for Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf.

DAILY POST reports that Ganduje made the call shortly after receiving Governor Yusuf into the party at a colourful ceremony held at Government House, Kano.

He stated that anyone seeking to govern Kano should put his ambitions on hold to enable Governor Yusuf complete his two terms.

The former national chairman commended Governor Yusuf for being bold enough to defect to the ruling party and for putting Kano first above all else.

He said, “To us, the leaders of the APC, this is a memorable occasion we have all been waiting for. I strongly welcome Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf back to his home.

“We were in APC together with you; it was formed with you. But later, because of political differences and redirection, you left for the NNPP.

“Now, we are thankful to our Creator; you are back to our party and your home. As the leader of APC in Kano today, you embody the party’s policies.”
