The governor called on the supporters to show their commitment to the APC by obtaining their voter's card and casting their votes come 2027
Ahead of the 2027 general polls, Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has boasted that no other political party can have a stronghold on Kano and Nigeria other than the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Addressing a large crowd of supporters who gathered across major streets in Kano to welcome him back following his participation in APC activities in Abuja, the governor dismissed the chances of opposition parties, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
According to him, the APC remains the dominant political force capable of winning elections at all levels.
“APC in Kano State is the only winning party. There is no other party that can take control of Kano and Nigeria, by the grace of Allah,” he said.
Governor Yusuf also responded to critics who have described him as a one-term governor, insisting that his political future remains secure within the APC.
“We did one term in NNPP and left. We will do the second term in APC. There are two terms in APC, the party of the people,” he stated.

He further pledged loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, assuring that Kano State would support his re-election bid in 2027.
“We in Kano are fully behind Mr President and will support his re-election, by the grace of Allah,” the governor added, while commending Tinubu’s efforts in improving the economy and infrastructure.
The governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to governance, promising continued investment in key sectors.
“We will continue to deliver dividends of democracy in education, infrastructure, health, agriculture, and youth empowerment for both men and women,” he said.
He also urged eligible voters to register with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the next elections.
“I call on all of you to rededicate yourselves to the service of our great party and ensure you register with INEC so that you can come out and support APC in 2027,” he appealed.
Meanwhile, the Kano State APC Chairman, Umar Doguwa, said the massive turnout during the reception reflected widespread support for the governor.
“The crowd you have seen today is a clear indication that the people are ready to return the governor for a second term,” he noted.
The governor’s convoy reportedly took several hours to move from the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport to the Government House due to the large number of supporters who lined the route—a journey that typically takes about 15 minutes under normal conditions.
