President Bola Tinubu has ordered the suspension of the commencement of the All Progressives Congress’ electronic registration exercise in Kano State.

A member of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, stated this in a 27-second video widely circulated on social media on Saturday.

In the video, Doguwa said the decision was taken by the APC national leadership following an order from President Tinubu.

“The leadership of the APC at the national level, acting on the directive of President Bola Tinubu, has ordered that the commencement of the APC e-registration in Kano be stopped,” the lawmaker said.

The development came amidst the rumour defection of Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf to the APC

Explaining the sudden halt, Doguwa suggested that the decision was linked to ongoing political developments involving the Kano State Governor.

“What will you do if Tinubu says he has accepted Abba? Well, today he accepted him.

“The plan was to start collecting the APC e-registration register tomorrow, but the President and the national leadership of the APC said to pause and wait until Abba officially defects, as he will be the first to collect the membership card,” the lawmaker said.
