The All Progressive Congress APC, Kano State, said rather than President Bola Tinubu and the Party suffering any electoral misfortune, it is the New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP led administration in the state that will be rejected by the electorate in 2027.
The Source reports that on Sunday, July 7 ,the Kano State NNPP Chairman, Hashim Suleiman Dungarawa had warned that President Tinubu’s second term bid in 2027 will be roundly rejected by Kano voters, owing to his subtle interference in the lingering Emirship face off between Aminu Ado Bayero and Muhammad Sanusi.
The Kano State Government which, against a restraining Court order, sacked Emir Bayero and four others, supplanting him with Sanusi as Emir of Kano on May 23, 2024, strongly believes that the Federal Government is backing Bayero.
In statement on Monday July 8, 2024, Abdullahi Abbas, the Kano APC Chairman ,a Prince of the Kano Royal House and Sanusi’s cousin ,also noted that it is Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso the NNPP Presidential Candidate in 2023 that will be severely bruised by the festering Emirship crisis.
Many observers of the unprecedented Royal rumble in Kano ,appear to see Senator Kwankwaso as the moving force behind the entire imbroglio, owing to his political disagreement with his erstwhile political ally, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the immediate past Governor of the State.
The APC Kano Chairman, described the NNPP threat as empty, and an indication of the level of frustration that has permeated its ranks both in Kano and at the National level.
He, also, described as diversionary, the raising of the issue of 2027 elections at this time by the NNPP, noting that it is an ingenious way of covering its glaring failure in the state.
“It is a public knowledge that while other State Governors were commissioning one project or the other to mark their one year in office ,the NNPP-led Kano State Government was busy distracting the good people of Kano from its obvious failures through the contentious Emirate Council Laws .
“Aside the widely acknowledged poor performance of Governor Abba Yusuf-led NNPP Government in Kano State in the last one year, the Party’s penchant for causing and sponsoring crises in a peaceful State it inherited and some of its anti-people polices are factors voters will consider during the next elections” Abbas stated .
According to Abbas who is also a Board Member of the North East Development Commission, the NNPP led administration in kano,from inception misplaced its priorities and has never wavered in diverting attention and distracting the people to conceal its monumental failures .
The APC in its statement wondered if it is the same fractured and directionless NNPP, that its equally unsettled leader, Senator Rabiu Kwakwaso is hoping to use to secure the Presidency of Nigeria.”
