The Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf has stated that his administration is not threatened by the antics of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
The National Chairman of the (APC) Abdullahi Umar Ganduje had earlier stated that the APC was the party to beat in the 2027 election in Kano.
Ganduje expressed surprise at a claim earlier made by the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso that he had the support of the people.
Ganduje said, “I can swear to God, if not for our internal issues, he (Kwankwaso) wouldn’t have won any election in Kano. This time around, he will see the reality. Those who supported him before are disappointed and full of regret. Kwankwasiyya is done, and even the governor is unaware of everything happening around him.”
However, speaking at the Government House in Kano, Yusuf warned that whoever threatens the people of Kano would face repercussions.
He said, “Let me be clear, whoever threatens the good people of Kano will face the consequences. We are ready, and I will not hesitate to take decisive action against them.
“As for those talking about taking over power in 2027, let me remind you, power belongs to God. It is He who grants leadership, and we pray that He gives it only to those who have the best interests of the good people of Kano at heart.
“We believe in God, and we know that no matter how many people conspire against us, they cannot succeed if God wills otherwise. We will not be intimidated or threatened.
“Our focus is not on 2027. Our priority is to fulfill the mandate entrusted to us by the people of Kano. Our mission is to continue delivering the dividends of democracy and serving our people diligently.
“May God grant us the strength and ability to achieve this and to witness 2027 in good health and prosperity.”
