IPAC made the appeal while speaking with journalists at Tahir Guest Palace after their tour on Saturday night.
IPAC was in Kano for a project monitoring tour to assess Governor Yusuf’s performance in six months.
The group, consist of leaders of all political parties in Nigeria, inspected 11 projects ranging from education, health, agriculture, physical infrastructure and human development.
After their tour, the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Chief Ralphs Okey Nwosu, emphasized the need for Yusuf to extend the hands of governance to members of other political parties, adding that such gesture will heal old wounds and ensure further development in the state.
IPAC also described the security situation in Kano as remarkable while thanking government workers for what they have done so far in driving the wheels of socio-economic development in the state.
He said the situation in Kano in terms of the dispensation of democratic dividends was very encouraging, promising to make the comprehensive report of their findings available to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the National Assembly for appraisal and commendation.
