Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has made it clear that he isn’t concerned about the possibility of re-election in 2027.

Speaking in Kano, the governor emphasized that his focus is on delivering results during his current term, not on political pressures for a second term.

Yusuf explained that his priority is fulfilling the mandate given to him by the people of Kano, stressing that his achievements in office will be the measure by which he should be judged.

“What I am concerned about is not re-election.

I am more focused on delivering the dividends of democracy in this first term,” he said.

“I want the people of Kano to assess my performance at the end of this tenure.”

Reflecting on his political journey, Yusuf reminded his audience that he won the 2019 and 2023 elections against formidable opponents, despite not holding any political office at the time.

He credited his victory to the will of Allah and stated that his future was in His hands.

“I am destined to be a Governor,” Yusuf declared, adding that whether or not he serves a second term depends entirely on God’s will.

“If Allah wills it, I’ll serve a second term. If not, then I won’t. So, why should I bother myself?”

Yusuf also made it clear that he would not succumb to any political pressure on his mandate.

“My performance will speak for me, not political pressure,” he said confidently.
