Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has declared that no political party can challenge the dominance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State and across Nigeria.
Speaking to a massive crowd of supporters who lined the streets of Kano to welcome him back from APC activities in Abuja, Governor Yusuf dismissed the chances of opposition parties, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“APC in Kano State is the only winning party. There is no other party that can take control of Kano and Nigeria, by the grace of Allah,” he said, affirming the party’s stronghold ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Responding to critics who have labeled him a one-term governor, Yusuf insisted that his political future remains secure within the APC. “We did one term in NNPP and left. We will do the second term in APC. There are two terms in APC, the party of the people,” he added.
The governor also pledged loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, assuring that Kano State would back the president’s re-election bid in 2027.
“We in Kano are fully behind Mr President and will support his re-election, by the grace of Allah,” Yusuf said, commending Tinubu’s efforts in improving the economy and infrastructure.
Reiterating his administration’s commitment to governance, the governor promised continued investment in education, infrastructure, health, agriculture, and youth empowerment. “We will continue to deliver dividends of democracy for both men and women,” he said.
Yusuf also urged eligible voters to register with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to support the APC in the upcoming elections. “I call on all of you to rededicate yourselves to the service of our great party and ensure you register with INEC so that you can come out and support APC in 2027,” he appealed.
Meanwhile, the Kano State APC Chairman, Umar Doguwa, described the massive turnout during the reception as a clear indication of widespread support for the governor.
“The crowd you have seen today is a clear indication that the people are ready to return the governor for a second term,” he noted.
The governor’s convoy reportedly took several hours to move from Malam Aminu Kano International Airport to the Government House due to the large number of supporters who lined the route—a journey that typically takes about 15 minutes.
