Ahead of the 2027 general elections, top figures of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State have declared their intention to reclaim the state from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and secure the re-election of President Bola Tinubu.
The pledge was made on Thursday in Abuja following a strategic meeting of party stakeholders.
The meeting was led by former APC national chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, and House of Representatives member Abubakar Bichi.
Addressing journalists, Dr. Ganduje, a former governor of Kano, stated that the meeting was held to assess the party’s progress and affirm its unwavering support for President Tinubu.
He expressed confidence in the APC’s growing strength in the state, despite its loss in the 2023 polls.
“We have resolved that we will continue to work very hard to ensure that we succeed in the next gubernatorial election in Kano State,” Ganduje said.
He added that part of their strategy includes mobilizing supporters for the ongoing voter registration exercise.
Echoing this sentiment, Senator Barau Jibrin cited President Tinubu’s “giant strides” and developmental projects in Kano and the wider northern region as the reason for their solid backing.
He pledged that stakeholders would intensify efforts to publicize the administration’s achievements.
Similarly, Hon. Abubakar Bichi dismissed claims that Tinubu lacks support in the north, labeling such insinuations as “cheap politics.”
He affirmed that the APC in Kano is united and determined to deliver victory for the party in the 2027 elections.
