APC Threatens Tinubu’s Minister With Expulsion

The All Progressives Congress in Kano State has submitted a strong petition against the Minister of State for Housing, Yusuf Atta, over his alleged unruly behaviour and inflammatory remarks that are capable of causing chaos and uncertainty in the state.

The party also warned the minister to refrain from commenting on party matters, stating that failure to adhere to the warning may result in expulsion from the party.

In a letter dated November 21, 2025, and signed by Abdullahi Abbas, State Chairman of APC Kano, the party expressed concern that Atta’s comments “have the tendency to provoke misunderstandings and disunity among members.”

The letter was copied to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, Kano State Party Leader, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and the APC North-West Zonal Vice Chairman.

The party noted that Atta “is not assigned a public relations role within the party, and such public comments may be wrongly interpreted as official party positions.”

It emphasised that matters relating to party affairs are “strictly within the purview of the APC leadership and its designated spokespersons.”

While recognising Atta’s right to support any aspirant of his choice, the APC reminded him that “by virtue of your position as Hon.

Minister and member of the Federal Executive Council, you are expected to engage on issues that will facilitate the unity of all party members.”

The letter further warned that Atta “is in the habit of making uncomplimentary and derogatory public pronouncements” and cautioned that failure to refrain from such behaviour may attract “further disciplinary action.”
