Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has declared that the state will work to deliver victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) at all levels in the 2027 general elections, urging political appointees to actively support the party’s mobilisation efforts.

The governor made the declaration during an interactive session with elected and appointed government officials at the Coronation Hall, Government House, Kano, according to a statement issued on Saturday by his spokesman, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.

Yusuf said Kano would lead the country in delivering massive votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

He said his administration had no apology for supporting President Tinubu, describing the president’s re-election as a collective responsibility of party members and government officials.

The governor directed all political appointees in his administration who were yet to register as members of the APC to do so without delay, stressing that every elected and appointed official must identify with the party and participate actively in strengthening its structures ahead of the polls.

He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ensuring the party records victory in the presidential, governorship, National Assembly, State Assembly and local government elections.

As part of measures to motivate political office holders, Yusuf approved the allocation of plots of land to more than 300 political aides, including Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants, Senior Special Reporters, Special Reporters and Personal Assistants.

He also approved the payment of N100,000 to each of the beneficiaries.

Speaking at the meeting, Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ismail Falgore, said the APC would continue to market the achievements of President Tinubu in Kano.

He said constituency projects executed by members of the State Assembly, with the support of the governor, had strengthened the party’s acceptance across the state and positioned it for victory in the 2027 elections.

Also speaking, the Kano APC Chairman, Hon. Umar Haruna Doguwa, said the party was prepared for the 2027 elections, declaring that “the battle line has been drawn” with the Kwankwasiyya movement.

At the end of the meeting, elected and appointed government officials passed a vote of confidence on President Tinubu and Governor Yusuf, pledging to intensify grassroots mobilisation to ensure the APC’s victory in the 2027 general elections. (Weekend Trust)
