By Editor

KANO(Kano,North West Nigeria) – Kano state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf on Wednesday cautioned the leadership of All Progressives Congress APC in Kano to refrained from inciting statements and hate speeches ahead 2027.

Yusuf who spoke in Kano during the monthly women empowerment program emphasized that he is not worried about the 2027 elections, as leadership is ordained by the Almighty Allah.

The soft spoken Kano Chief executive said such reckless, and inciting utterances have the potential to scare unsuspecting voters who are eager to exercise their civic rights.

It could be recalled that the APC suffered a significant defeat in the hands of the ruling NNPP during the 2023 elections, losing the governorship seat, two senatorial seats, 18 out of 26 House of Representatives seats, and 26 out of 40 State Assembly seats.

Yusuf said “What I am worried about is not re-election. I am more concerned about delivering the dividends of democracy on the mandate given to me in this first tenure. I want the good people of Kano to judge me by my performance at the end of this tenure,”

He stressed “We know those people who were massively rejected in both 2019 and 2023. We won against them at a time when we had no political office—not even a councillor. But Allah made it possible for us to win with a landslide victory,”

The further declared that “I am destined to be a Governor. It is my total belief and submission to the will of Allah that if He so wills, I will serve a second term. If not, I won’t. So why should I bother myself?”.

Yusuf however vowed to resist pressure on his mandate, pointing out that “My Performance Will speak for me, not political pressure”.

The Governor lamented how enemies of Kano, disguised as opposition members, are attempting to create political tension in the state.
