Kano Defection: I Don’t Believe in Talking Too Much, I Act – Gov Yusuf
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State who is believed to be planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC, on January 12, has for the first time since the controversy erupted made some comments on the matter.
The Governor seen in a viral video talking to a group said that, ” I have never commented on the discussions that follow the issues at stake, because I don’t believes in talking too much.”
DAILY POST is unable to confirm the date and time of the comment, but it generally referred to the current controversy over his planned defection.
He added that, “What started small has been magnified as said by a Hausa Singer, Karamar Magana Tazama Babba. As everyone knows, I don’t believe in talking too much.
“I’m always an action man; the actions that will help my people as seen by everyone, that is what I believed in, not too much talk,” he said.
Kano was recently agog with news of the Governor’s planned move to the APC.
While a faction in the state believe his decision was coming at the right time as it will help the state to align with the centre, others in the New Nigeria’s People’s Party, NNPP, see his decision as nothing but a betrayal of trust given to him by the leader of the Kwankwasiyya group, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
