The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has assured Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, of victory in the 2027 governorship election, declaring that the party would fully support him for a second term.
Ganduje gave the assurance in Kano while welcoming Governor Yusuf back to the APC.
He described the governor’s return as historic and beneficial to both the party and the state.
“You will win your second term in 2027. We have spoken to all aspirants, and they have agreed to support you,” Ganduje said.
He noted that Yusuf’s return marked a homecoming, recalling that the governor was part of the APC at its formative stage before leaving due to political differences and realignments.
“This is a memorable and historic occasion. Your Excellency, you are welcome back home to the APC. When the party was formed, you were with us, but later political differences and misconceptions led you away. Now you are back,” he stated.
Ganduje described Yusuf as a progressive politician whose leadership style and disposition align with the ideology of the APC.
“We know you as a progressive politician from your perception, utterances and disposition. APC is perfect with you,” Ganduje said.
He further declared that, in line with APC tradition, Governor Yusuf automatically becomes the leader of the party in Kano State.
“In APC, all serving governors are leaders of the party in their respective states. Therefore, you are the leader of the APC in Kano State,” he said.
Ganduje also assured the governor of equal treatment within the party and expressed confidence that the APC would record sweeping victories in future elections.
“As you are coming in, we assure you that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will also win the 2027 election. APC will stand solidly with you,” he added.
In a remark, Deputy Senate President, Dr Barau Jibrin ,while welcoming Abba Kabir Yusuf , urged his supporters to accord the governor all the necesarry support to succeed.
Governor Yusuf on Monday rejoined the APC after resigning from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), a move that has triggered major political realignments in Kano State, with several elected officials and party members also defecting with him.
