No be small wahala o! President Bola Ahmed Tinubu don gather with Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, for State House, Abuja. Dis meeting wey happen for around 4 pm get people wey dey suspect say e fit get to do with the governor wan jump ship from him party, the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), go meet All Progressives Congress (APC) wey Tinubu dey run.
As usual, we no sabi wetin dey happen for dis kind closed-door meeting, but people dey look say e fit involve some trade-off, especially since reports don dey fly say Governor Yusuf dey seek automatic ticket for 2027 elections. If una remember, na im be the main gist wey don dey circulate since January.
For who no sabi, the national leader of the NNPP, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, don clear ground say make anybody no dey talk say he agree for any defection matters. Kwankwaso talk say no consent fit dey anywhere, case close! But as e be, the political atmosphere dey hot as supporters from both sides don dey exchange no-too-pleasant words.
Wetin we hear be say talks don dey drag because of wahala wey dey concerning whether Governor Yusuf go get chance to run again una see am? E dey demand automatic ticket and to bring im own people join federal appointments. This one no be afternoon chop matter, as other big boys for APC dey eye the same governorship seat.
If the meeting no yield any solid agreement, we fit just dey see politics dey play out like drama for our eyes, especially as Kwankwaso don openly shout say if Yusuf go carry dis defect move, e go jam serious wahala for 2027. Him son and some cabinet members neva hide their clear vex, say if di governor jump, dem go resign straight.
Rumors dey also float say President Tinubu don tell APC make dem suspend their e-registration matter for Kano until dem see wetin plan dey for the governor end. E mean say dem wan make sure say Yusuf na the first person wey gree to join APC before dem continue registration.
Meanwhile, for January 5, Tinubu don praise Yusuf as him celebrate im birthday. E talk say di governor dey do big work for infrastructure, education and all those better things wey dem dey complain say no dey happen. Dis one fit give Governor Yusuf some ginger to continue im moves.
But the matter no fit quiet down anytime soon as political watchers dey expect plenty wahala, and we dey wait for any fresh gist wey fit drop from their meeting. Abeg, make we dey follow up well, because dis na politics, e fit change within seconds!
