Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has formally resigned his membership of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
The development comes days after the Kano State chapter of the party insisted that the governor must officially withdraw his membership before leaving its platform.
NNPP State Chairman, Elmasud Doguwa, had earlier stated that the party had no intention of forcing Yusuf to remain if he no longer wished to continue with the NNPP, stressing that due process must be followed.
Yusuf’s resignation also follows his recent closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu, a development that has further fueled political speculation over his next move.
