The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Abdullahi Ganduje, has expressed confidence in the party’s ability to reclaim Kano state from the leadership of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
Ganduje taunts Kwankwaso as followers dump NNPP
Ganduje asserted that this will be achieved because the influence of the NNPP leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, is waning.
He spoke during the 8th and 9th APC Kano State House of Assembly Forum dinner on Monday, January 6, 2025.
Ganduje vows APC will reclaim Kano in 2027
Ganduje, represented by Kano state APC chairman Abdullahi Abbas, disclosed that many of Kwankwaso’s supporters have abandoned him due to dissatisfaction with his leadership.
The APC leadership believes Kano’s current administration is faltering, setting the stage for a potential electoral reversal in 2027.
Amid permutations for the 2027 election, Ganduje affirmed that Kwankwaso has failed his supporters and his gradually losing support.
ortgraiis the NNPP would not be able to repeat the 2023 electoral victory, which saw it capture Kano state.
“I always get surprised when Rabiu Kwankwaso claims he is the one who has the people. If not for our internal issues that caused some of us to leave, he wouldn’t have won any election in the state,” Ganduje stated.
As reported by The Punch, Ganduje further alleged that those who once backed Kwankwaso now regret their decision.
Buttressing his point, Ganduje stressed the importance of unity among APC members, describing it as the key to reclaiming power.
“Those who helped him are already disappointed and regretting it. I assure you that we are done with Kwankwasiyya. Even the governor is unaware of all that is happening within his administration,” he added.
“Unity is the only way out for us; it’s the only option we have to get what we want. God has already intervened in our situation. The current government is distorting the state, and we are just waiting for the right time. The next election will be like shifting a hen from its eggs,” he said.
No magic can Stop Tinubu from winning 2027
He dismissed NNPP’s Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa’s criticism, emphasizing Tinubu’s economic reforms and their long-term benefits for Nigeria.
Zazzaga highlighted achievements like subsidy removal, Naira stabilization, and rising oil production as reasons for Tinubu’s inevitable 2027 victory.
