- Yilwatda's visit to Gaya was his latest meeting with opposition leaders, and he said their discussions centred on the unity of Kano State and the responsibility of leaders to promote dialogue
All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has visited Senator Kabiru Gaya at a time when speculation is mounting over whether the veteran politician could return to the party he helped found.
Gaya, one of the original architects of the APC, later parted ways with the party and joined the New Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). His departure was seen as a significant loss given his long-standing influence in Kano state politics.
"We agreed that leaders have a responsibility to promote dialogue and peaceful coexistence," he said.
