Kano Gov won’t return in 2027 under our watch – APC chairman

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Prince Abdullahi Abbas, has vowed that the party will leave no stone unturned to prevent Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) from securing a second term in 2027.

In a video currently circulating on Facebook, Abbas was seen addressing APC members at a gathering of the party’s social media team in Gwale Local Government Area.

Speaking to supporters, he declared that the APC is fully prepared to mobilize and ensure Governor Yusuf does not return to office in the next election cycle.

“No matter the consequences, Abba will not return to the governor’s seat. Whether Kano stays in peace or falls into chaos, it doesn’t matter, Abba’s tenure must end in Kano,” Abbas said emphatically to the cheering crowd.

During his speech, the APC chairman also took a swipe at the NNPP-led administration in the State, accusing it of incompetence and corruption. According to him, Governor Yusuf’s team lacked the capacity to govern the state effectively.

“They thought governing is easy, but ever since assuming office, all we have seen is gross incompetence, negligence, and mad looting. Everyone is in a hurry to steal,” Abbas alleged.

He also described the ongoing Kano Emirate crisis in the state as “a disgrace,” saying the creation of two rival emirs was a blemish on the state’s history.

“This government has destroyed our emirate system. A historic city like Kano is now witnessing two emirs this is a disgrace,” he said.

The State APC chairman Abbas, known for his fiery and bold statements, has remained one of the most vocal critics of the Governor Abba Yusuf administration since the NNPP took over power in 2023.
