There is heavy security presence around and inside the Kano State Government House, as the planned defection of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), caused tension in the state.
According to reports, the massive deployment of security forces is coming as the planned defection of the governor faces severe backlash, especially in the Kwankwasiyya camp.
According to security sources, the deployment was aimed at preventing any possible breakdown of law and order in the state.
“It’s obvious that this decision has provoked many supporters of the governor and the Kwankwasiyya movement. The governor is not finding it easy”, the source said.
