Kano State - Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has boldly declared that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) can never win the 2027 elections in Kano State.
Governor Yusuf expressed confidence in winning his reelection under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
The governor said his administration is doing its best to deliver dividends of democracy to the people of the northwest state.
“You have, in the last two to three years, seen our efforts. If you give us another mandate, we will surely do more in terms of empowerment, Infrastructural development, education, which is our centre stage policy, health, and agriculture with portable water supply across Kano.”
As reported by Daily Trust, Yusuf said this while addressing a large crowd of the party’s supporters at the Government House, Kano.
According to Governor Yusuf, the ADC is a party of jokers, which lacks what it takes to win an election in Kano.
“There was only one term in the NNPP, and we will go for a second term in the APC. As for the ADC that they moved to, it will never have even a single term.
“Kano and Nigeria are solidly behind APC, and APC is the only winning Party; therefore, Nigerians and indeed Kano people should not be carried away by the euphoria of so-called ADC and other parties.
“ADC, NNPP, and any other parties are a part of the jokers who could not make any meaningful political gains despite their groupings.
Former Kano deputy governor resigns from APC
Recall that former Kano state deputy governor and 2023 APC governorship candidate Nasiru Gawuna resigned from the party.
Gawuna described his resignation as voluntary and personal in a letter to the APC chairman of Gawuna Ward.
He expressed gratitude to the party while withholding details of his next political move.
