Abeg, make we gather round for dis one wey dey burst brain! President Tinubu don send correct birthday shoutout to Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, di Governor of Kano State, as e turn 63 on January 5, 2026. No be small matter oh!

Di President really sabi wetin him dey talk as e highlight di governor’s integrity, humility, and di way him dey run public service like say na im own personal matter.
Make we no forget say Governor Yusuf don dey waka since 2023 under di New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). Before dis dream come true, him serve as di Commissioner for Works, Housing and Transport from 2011 to 2015 with di great Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso. Na real experience be dis!

Plus, di education matter no dey fall hand again as di governor don declare emergency for education that one don ginger performance for di NECO exams.

But abeg make we shine our eyes, rumor don dey waka about say di Governor fit soon change ship from di NNPP to join Tinubu side for di All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of di 2027 general elections. Na wetin dem dey call political maneuvering! I go just dey watch how e go play out.
