A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, has expressed confidence in Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf’s re-election prospects in 2027. Ganduje made this assertion on Monday in Kano, as he welcomed Governor Yusuf back to the APC. The governor’s return to the party was characterized as a historic and beneficial move for both the APC and Kano State.
Ganduje’s remarks came as he received Governor Yusuf, who had previously been a member of the APC when the party was formed in 2014. According to Ganduje, political differences and misconceptions had led to the governor’s departure from the party, but he has now rejoined the fold. Ganduje noted that he had spoken with all aspirants, who have agreed to support Governor Yusuf’s candidacy in the 2027 election.
The former APC chairman described the governor’s return as a significant development, highlighting the potential benefits for the party and the state. Ganduje’s assurance of Governor Yusuf’s re-election is seen as a significant endorsement, given his influence within the party. The move is expected to bolster Governor Yusuf’s position ahead of the 2027 elections.
Governor Yusuf’s decision to rejoin the APC is likely to have implications for the political landscape in Kano State. The APC, as the ruling party, will likely seek to leverage the governor’s return to strengthen its position in the state. As the 2027 elections approach, the party will be looking to build on its existing support base and capitalize on Governor Yusuf’s popularity.
The development is also expected to have implications for the opposition parties in Kano State, which will need to reassess their strategies in light of Governor Yusuf’s return to the APC. With Ganduje’s endorsement, Governor Yusuf’s re-election bid has gained significant momentum, and the governor is now well-positioned to secure a second term in office. As the political landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how the opposition parties will respond to this new development.
