A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has returned to Nigeria from London and is expected to proceed to Kano on Monday for key party engagements amid ongoing political realignments in the state.
Ganduje arrived in Abuja at about 5:30 am aboard a British Airways flight after attending the graduation ceremony of his daughter, Fatima, at King’s College, London, where she obtained a Master’s degree.
Fatima is married to Idris Ajimobi, son of the late former Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi.
Confirming his return, Ganduje’s Chief of Staff, Muhammad Garba, said the former Kano State governor would immediately resume party activities in the state.
He has returned to the country this morning and will proceed to Kano later today to take part in important political engagements.
Garba added that Ganduje would be actively involved in the APC’s electronic registration of members in Kano, a programme he initiated during his tenure as the party’s national chairman.
He is scheduled to participate in the APC e-registration exercise and also play a key role in activities surrounding the reception of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf into the party,” he said.
The anticipated defection of Yusuf, who was elected on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in 2023, has continued to attract political attention in Kano ahead of the 2027 general elections.
