Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has declared that the state is fully committed to ensuring the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at all levels in the 2027 general elections.
The governor made the declaration during an interactive session with elected and appointed government officials at the Coronation Hall, Government House, Kano.
A statement issued on Saturday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, quoted Yusuf as saying that Kano would lead the country in delivering the highest number of votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Kano will lead the country in delivering the highest number of votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election,” the governor said.
He added that the APC administration in the state had “no apology for supporting President Tinubu,” describing the President’s re-election as “a collective responsibility of all party members and government officials.”
Yusuf directed all political appointees in his administration who have yet to register as APC members to do so immediately, insisting that every elected and appointed official must identify with the party and help strengthen its structures ahead of the elections.
The governor also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to securing APC victories in the presidential, governorship, National Assembly, State House of Assembly, and local government elections.
As part of efforts to motivate political office holders, Yusuf approved the allocation of plots of land to more than 300 political aides, including Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants, Senior Special Reporters, Special Reporters, and Personal Assistants, alongside a cash gift of N100,000 each.
Also speaking, Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Ismail Falgore, said the APC “owes no apology for marketing the achievements of President Tinubu in Kano.”
Similarly, Kano APC Chairman, Umar Haruna Doguwa, declared that “the battle line has been drawn” with the Kwankwasiyya movement, expressing confidence that the party would emerge victorious in the 2027 general elections.
The meeting ended with elected and appointed government officials passing a vote of confidence in President Tinubu and Governor Yusuf while pledging to intensify grassroots mobilisation for the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
