The Nigerian political sphere is undergoing a significant transformation as at least two opposition governors prepare to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) in anticipation of the 2027 elections.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State and Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State are both scheduled for formal reception into the ruling party this week.
In Kano, Governor Yusuf’s shift follows his official departure from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), an exit that has already prompted a massive realignment.
Joining the governor in this move are “members of the Kano State House of Assembly, 8 federal lawmakers, and all 44 local government chairmen,” all of whom have left the NNPP.

His spokesperson, Bature Tofa, explained that the Governor chose the APC because he views it as a “stronger and more dependable platform for governance.”
Meanwhile, in Plateau State, a major political event is being organized in Jos for Tuesday to officially welcome Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
The ceremony is expected to be a high-profile affair, attended by the APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and various other governors and party leaders.
Sir Joseph Ari, Chairman of the Media and Publicity Sub-Committee, labeled the upcoming reception as “historic,” noting that “the Plateau State capital would take centre stage in national politics during the reception.”
He confirmed that all preparations have been finalized for a “grand welcome for the governor.”
