By Efe Onodjae The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Ideological Group (BAT-IG) has expressed delight over the defection of the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the development as a major boost to the party’s growing strength and national spread. A statement by Arabinrin Aderonke, Director of Media and Publicity, BAT-IG sent to Vanguard, noted that the governor’s decision reflects increasing confidence in the leadership, vision, and progressive ideology of the APC under President Bola Tinubu. Quoting the proverb, “In the multitude of people lies the king’s honour,” the group stated that the expanding membership of the party “is a clear indication of public trust and acceptance,” said Aderonke. Aderonke emphasised that the political realignment in Kano State significantly strengthens the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections. “With the combined electoral strength of both political blocs, the party is now better positioned for greater victories and sustained political stability,” she said.
