Former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has expressed his intention to reduce the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s electoral strength in Kano State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Senator Kwankwaso, who was the presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, made the comments during a meeting with stakeholders from Tsanyawa Local Government Area. He shared his strategy while receiving former councilors and senior special advisers who served under the previous administration.
The event, held at his residence, was attended by members of his political base, including grassroots mobilizers.
Reflecting on the 2023 general elections, Kwankwaso said his New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) had disrupted the dominance of traditional parties in Kano.
“In 2023, despite being a young political platform with limited time to campaign, we reduced the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to just 15,000 votes in Kano,” he remarked.
The former governor stated, “Now, it’s our turn to diminish APC’s influence. We will work tirelessly to ensure their votes are reduced to less than 15,000 in Kano by 2027.”
Kwankwaso emphasized grassroots mobilization and unity within the NNPP. “Our strength lies in our people and their commitment. We must remain dedicated to the cause and ensure that our efforts reach every corner of the state,” he said.
He also stressed the need for community engagement and voter education, adding, “This is not just about politics; it’s about shaping the future of Kano and ensuring that we deliver on the promises we make to our people.”
