Legit.ng undertstands that Ganduje is scheduled to meet with key Kano APC stakeholders on Thursday, January 25, at the party's state secretariat.

The meeting, slated for noon, aims to address reconciliation efforts with several political stakeholders including opposition members who may be willing to return to the APC — chiefly loyalists of Ganduje’s political rival, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Kwankwaso, Ganduje’s former principal and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election, leads the colossal Kwankwasiyya movement in Kano state.

Clips showing Ganduje arriving were shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the APC, United Kingdom (UK) chapter, and a party chieftain, Imran Muhammad.
