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.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has explained the reason behind the formation of the new opposition coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC). According to Atiku, the coalition was created to defend Nigeria’s democracy from what he sees as growing authoritarian tendencies and the manipulation of elections under the current ruling party.
He emphasized that the alliance is not about political heavyweights like himself, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, or Nasir El-Rufai battling for the 2027 presidency, but about safeguarding the country’s democratic future.
Atiku made it clear that the movement isn’t aimed at attacking President Tinubu, but rather focused on putting Nigeria first. “This isn’t about fighting Tinubu,” he said. “It’s about protecting democracy and making sure Nigerians come first.”
Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged the Super Falcons to give their all and bring home victory as they face hosts Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat. With just 90 minutes standing between them and a record-extending 10th WAFCON title, the First Lady praised the team for their performance so far and encouraged them to finish strong.
In a video message shared on the Super Falcons’ official X account, she said, “My beautiful Super Falcons, congratulations on reaching the final. Your team spirit, dedication, and professionalism have been remarkable. You’ve become shining examples for young girls across Nigeria and Africa.”
She added, “As you take the field, may God grant you victory. Go and make us proud. Nigerians, including myself, are waiting to welcome you back with the trophy in your hands.”
