Governor Abba Yusuf Says He’s Focused on Serving Kano, Not Worried About 2027 Re-election
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.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
