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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
