2027: I won’t run for Kano State governorship election — Inuwa Waya
By Ahmad Tijjani Abdul
KANO – The former Kano State governorship aspirant, Inuwa Waya, has announced that he will not seek the governorship ticket under the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
Iniwa Waya told newsmen in Kano, shortly after a strategic meeting with his inner campaign circle that his decision not to run in 2027 is based on personal reflection and a desire to contribute to the state’s progress from other angles.
Waya, however stressed that he would continue to support initiatives that promote unity and good governance in Kano, as he further reaffirmed his commitment to remaining in the APC.
He disclosed that he is open to forming alliances with credible individuals and groups both within and outside the party, adding that collaboration and unity would be essential for the APC to reposition itself ahead of 2027.
Reflecting on the party’s loss in the 2023 elections, Waya attributed the defeat to poor leadership, lack of a coordinated campaign strategy, and internal miscalculations that weakened the party’s chances and ultimately led to the NNPP’s victory in Kano.
He emphasized that the APC and its members must learn from these mistakes to avoid repeating the failures of 2023.
According to him, genuine reforms, internal discipline, and strategic planning are necessary for the party to regain public trust and return to winning ways.
Waya added that his focus moving forward is to support efforts aimed at rebuilding the party and fostering unity among its stakeholders.
