The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has cautioned the State Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, over recent public statements which the party described as capable of causing internal misunderstandings.
In a letter dated November 21, 2025, and signed by the APC State Chairman, Hon. Abdullahi Abbas, the party expressed concern that Ata’s comments “have the tendency to provoke misunderstandings and disunity among members.”
The letter was copied to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda; the Kano State Party Leader and immediate past National Chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, OFR, who also serves as Chairperson of the Board of FAAN; as well as the APC North West Zonal Vice Chairman.

The party stated that Ata “is not assigned a public relations role within the party, and such public comments may be wrongly interpreted as official party positions.” It stressed that issues relating to internal party matters remain the exclusive responsibility of the APC leadership and its authorized spokespersons.
While acknowledging his right to support any aspirant, the party reminded Ata 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 APC further accused the minister of making “uncomplimentary and derogatory public pronouncements,” warning that continued disregard for party discipline may attract “further disciplinary action.”
