Governor Yusuf, who was elected on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has been rumoured to be on his way to the APC since the outcome of the Supreme Court judgment that reinstated him after being sacked by the lower court.

Why Abba Yusuf should not join NNPP

In his reaction, Olanrewaju alleged that the call was orchestrated by Tinubu. He advised the Kano governor to look beyond 2027 and build the NNPP to be a stronger opposition.

He said:

"Tinubu already abandoned bringing development to Nigeria. He’s focused on politics and 2027, which is very bad for average Nigerians. It’s always an error to have a career politician as the president because the primary focus will be politics and not governance.
