Kano gained nothing from opposition – Gov Yusuf’s aide on planned defection

Sanusi Bature, spokesperson of Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has explained why the governor may defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Bature said Kano State has never gained anything from being in opposition, hence the governor may defect to the APC.

He spoke on Channels Television’s LaunchTime Politics on Tuesday.

“If we go to the history of Kano and Nigerian politics, Kano has been in a complete opposition or in an eternal opposition with the centre.

“If you look at the trajectory and history, what has Kano benefited from being in opposition? During Shagari, Kano was in opposition.

“At some point during Obasanjo, Kano was in opposition, during Jonathan Kano was in eternal opposition, so what has Kano benefitted from being in a different pathway from the centre?

“That’s a fundamental question we need to answer before any decision is taken.

“At the moment the rumours might be clear about the visit to the president, the visit is not mainly political but development discussion and also a brief about the current realities in the state,” he said.
