Governor Yusuf Rallies Kano for NNPP Victory, Vows to Protect Voting Rights
Kano State governor Abba Kabir Yusuf recently took the stage at the Sani Abacha Stadium, rallying support as he handed over candidacy flags to New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) representatives set to contest in the upcoming local government election.
As Saturday’s election draws closer, Yusuf urged both the candidates and the people to remain determined and proactive, making it clear that he expects a focused effort toward securing victory.
In a message to NNPP candidates, Yusuf encouraged them to approach the election with well-thought-out strategies to ensure success, emphasizing the importance of this election for Kano’s future.
Speaking to the crowd, he said the NNPP represents the progress the Kano people seek, calling on the community to back the party through their votes on Saturday.
He also called on Kano’s electorate to vote consciously and responsibly, highlighting their role in moving the city toward a promising future.
Stressing the value of each vote, Yusuf reminded the crowd of the impact of local government in shaping everyday life, from healthcare access to public infrastructure, and urged everyone to take their role in these decisions seriously.
The governor also addressed those who might attempt to disrupt the election process, warning that any efforts to deny people their right to vote and have their voices heard would be met with firm resistance.
He emphasized that the NNPP stands with the people and will stand up for their rights, asserting that every eligible voter in Kano has a right to cast their ballot freely and safely.
The Presidency has reacted to the ongoing dispute between former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and the state government over the state’s finances.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, said Obi had claimed he left Anambra debt-free and promised to stop his presidential campaign if proven wrong.
Onanuga said the Anambra government had presented figures showing outstanding obligations to workers, pensioners and contractors under Obi’s administration.
Obi, however, denied the claims, saying his administration cleared over ₦35 billion in historical gratuities and arrears before leaving office.
“If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning,” Obi said.
Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has spoken about why he believes Igbos are supporting President Bola Tinubu’s bid for re-election in the 2027 presidential election.
He said the president’s son, Seyi Tinubu, has given Igbos greater access to the president.
He said “We Igbos now have access to Mr. President Tinubu through his son, Seyi Tinubu. That’s why we’re doing everything to make sure he’s re-elected.”
Cubana Chief Priest also spoke about the growing support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, saying “Thousands of Imolites are trooping in for registration for APC. Ndi Imo don’t just love the City Boys Movement, they believe in it. Let’s do politics with lifestyle. On Asiwaju’s mandate, we shall stand. Imo is APC. Here, it’s zero competition.”
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
