The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, paid a courtesy visit to Kano State Governor, His Excellency Abba Kabir Yusuf, at the Kano Governor’s Lodge.

In a statement Senator Basiru described the meeting as an opportunity to explore ways to further consolidate the APC's presence in Kano State.

"I paid courtesy visit to the Kano State Governor, H.E. Abba Yusuf, at the Kano Governor’s Lodge," he wrote. "The visit afforded us opportunity of discussing how to further strengthen and unify our party, the APC, in Kano State and further the support base of the Governor."

The visit comes weeks after Governor Yusuf's high-profile defection from the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) to the APC in late January 2026.
