Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf Embraces APC Members Without Discrimination, Calls for Unity and Grassroots Mobilisation — Dr. Dan’agundi
The Director-General of the National Productivity Centre, Dr. Baffa Babba Dan’agundi, has commended the Executive Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, for what he described as a rare display of fairness, justice, and inclusive leadership following his entry into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Dr. Dan’agundi made the remarks while addressing journalists in his office, expressing 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 stated that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has demonstrated true statesmanship by embracing party members without bias.
“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 committed to unity within the APC,” he said.
Dr. Dan’agundi further disclosed that in several areas where the Governor was entitled to about 60 percent of the APC leadership positions, he willingly stepped aside to allow 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 added.
Calling on party members to consolidate on the prevailing unity, Dr. Dan’agundi specifically appealed to original APC members to stand firmly by their leader, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, by demonstrating loyalty through full support and cooperation with Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf as the recognised leader of the APC in Kano State.
“Our respected leader, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has always guided us toward unity and structure. Therefore, all original APC members must show their loyalty by giving full support 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 total commitment to grassroots mobilisation 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 who have moved to the APC for fostering unity and working collectively toward the party’s success.
Dr. Dan’agundi urged other local governments across Kano State to emulate the Kano Municipal example in order to strengthen party cohesion, ensure stability, and secure electoral victory across the state.
