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.
The Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has spoken on Nigeria’s economy, stating that the country lacks a good maintenance culture.
She said “The fact is that endowments alone do not add value. Budgetary allocations alone do not lead to new roads or good maintenance.”
“We lack a maintenance culture in the country. I have to say that. I’m Nigerian, but we need that. We need better ports and digital infrastructure, and lower trade costs. Execution is what matters, and successful execution requires focus. It requires prioritisation.”
Politician and former presidential candidate Peter Obi speaks on President Bola Tinubu’s comments regarding the rising hunger and worsening economic situation in Nigeria.
It can be noted that the President recently stated that hunger has always existed in Nigeria.
Peter Obi responded “I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.”
“While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today.”
Reports have been shared stating that the Nigerian Army has launched a new programme designed to train and improve the skills of engineers in tackling threats posed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
The seminar is being organised by the 41 Engineer Brigade of the 1 Division Nigerian Army.
It was stated “Improvised Explosive Devices have become one of the greatest security threats confronting the Nigerian Army in ongoing counter-insurgency operations. Their widespread use has complicated military operations and humanitarian activities in conflict-affected areas.”
