The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, on Monday paid a courtesy visit to the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, reaffirming the party’s 60/40 leadership-sharing formula in the state.
The Independent Mirror reports that the development was disclosed in a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
During the visit, Yilwatda expressed satisfaction with the large turnout of party supporters and leaders, describing it as a clear sign of unity within the APC in Kano State.
“I am deeply impressed by the turnout of our members and leaders. It reflects unity, enthusiasm, and a shared commitment to the progress of our great party in Kano State,” he said.
The APC national chairman reiterated that the 60/40 leadership-sharing arrangement between new decampees and existing party members is aimed at promoting inclusiveness and effective participation in party affairs.
According to him, the arrangement would further strengthen support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
“The 60/40 formula is about fairness and inclusivity. It ensures that both longstanding members and new entrants have a sense of belonging and responsibility in moving the party forward,” Yilwatda added.
He also commended Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna and Barau I. Jibrin for setting aside personal ambitions in the interest of party unity and aligning with the governor’s vision for the APC in Kano State.
