The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that defeat awaits the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in 2027 and not President Bola Tinubu over the Kano emirship crisis.
TheHintsNews reports that NNPP Kano state Chairman, Hashimu Dungurawa recently said the lingering emirship tussle might negatively work against Tinubu’s second term ambition in 2027.
Reacting however, Kano APC Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas in a statement issued Monday said bringing up the issue of 2027 presidential election by the Kano NNPP chairman diversionary.
He maintained that NNPP and its national leader, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso would suffer the consequences of the ongoing emirship tussle negatively.
Abbas insisted that NNPP and its national leader, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso would suffer the consequences of the ongoing Emirship tussle negatively.
He noted: “Aside widely acknowledged poor performance of Governor Abba Yusuf-led NNPP government in Kano state in the last one year, the party’s penchant for causing and sponsoring crisis in a peaceful state he inherited and some of his anti-people’s policies are factors voters will consider in the next election.
“It is a public knowledge that while other state governors were commissioning one project or the other to mark their one year in office, the NNPP Kano state government was busy distracting the good people of Kano from his obvious failures through the contentious Emirate law as a tactic from his inadequacies in office.”
Abbas stressed that the NNPP government in Kano state started on a wrong footing by going against the very essence of governance, which is the people, and always wants to distract the people from its apparent failure.
Abbas added: “The people of Kano state whose houses were demolished and rendered homeless will not forget in a hurry, the people of Kano state whose sources of economic survival and businesses were destroyed will not vote NNPP again, among many other categories of people already badly affected by the current misfit government in Kano state.”
He said Kwankwaso’s presidential debut in 2023 was deliberately intended to test his national outlook adding that Kwankwaso got 1.2 million or 19 per cent of the total votes in the North-west, his geo political zone, saying he got almost nothing in other regions of the country.
“Kwankwaso got 1,454,649 total votes, representing only 6.23 per cent, and most of them from Kano. In fact, media post-election analysis showed that Kwankwaso did not get up to 100,000 votes elsewhere aside from Kano,” Abbas said.
