President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently holding a meeting with Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The governor, wearing a white Agbada and red cap, arrived at the Villa around 4:10 pm.
Political observers have been closely watching the potential defection of Governor Yusuf from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Reports suggest that negotiations between the parties have faced delays, particularly regarding whether the governor would be granted an automatic ticket for the 2027 elections.
The speculation surrounding the governor’s possible defection has dominated news headlines for several weeks, creating tensions between his supporters and his political mentor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Analysts believe that the ongoing meeting with President Tinubu may be linked to discussions on this planned political switch.
