The APC Wave Begins: Abia Power Bloc Quietly Re-Aligning — State Structures Poised for a Full Collapse into APC.
A quiet but powerful political wave appears to be sweeping across Abia State. From strategic defections to elite endorsements and coordinated messaging from APC power brokers, the signs are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore — Abia’s political structures are gradually collapsing into the APC.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement has condemned calls for Kano State Deputy Governor Aminu Gwarzo to resign, calling the move “provocative, ungrateful, and unacceptable.” The group said Gwarzo’s mandate is constitutionally protected and accused the state government of sidelining loyal supporters of Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso, whose movement helped bring the current administration to power. Kwankwasiyya warned it would resist any attempts to undermine its members in government.
Nasarawa Governor Abdullahi Sule says APC governors are not worried about the ongoing impeachment of Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara, calling it a matter for the courts. The latest attempt, the third in under three years, has stalled due to legal hurdles, while the Rivers crisis remains a party matter for the APC National Working Committee.
Kano State has returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC) following the defection of Governor Abba Yusuf from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), ending months of political speculation. Yusuf joined the ruling party alongside 22 members of the state assembly and nine federal lawmakers, citing the need for development and political partnership. While the APC has welcomed the move as historic, the NNPP has condemned it as a betrayal, marking a major realignment in Kano’s political landscape.
